  1. In The Penal Times
    There is a mass rock on a height called the 'Cairrig' in the town land of Doon. You can still see the stone that was used as the alter, There was also a hedge school in the same spot. There was the bones of a man found in the ditch beside the spot by my great grand-father.
    There is also a mass rock in the town land of Carratinure. It is a very secluded lonely spot between two hills. The Rev, Father Small when he was a curate in Killinkere used to have a procession during the Summer to this place each year. St. Ultan's Well is convenient to this Mass Rock. The parish church of Killinkere is called after St. Ultan.
