  1. About eighty years ago there was a Mass Rock situated about two and a half miles outside Bailieboro in the downland of Lisball and in the glen of Dundragon at the back of a big hill. The altar is still marked with a big rock and there is a little iron cross. The priest was killed and he saying Mass there. The track of the priest's feet was still marked until ten or eleven years ago.
