- Once upon a time in the penal days when the priests used to be hiding behind rocks, a priest one day was saying Mass behind at Conways of Pull na Ghlon. He had all the people around him when Seán na Sagart saw him and followed him. Seán had a big dagger with him and he flung it at the priest but he did not get the priest but he got some of the followers and wounded them. Seán kept following the priest until at last he had to give up because the priest was going out of sight. Then Seán returned. The priest continued on with his followers until he came to a rock on a hill behind Conorys in Lanmore(continues on next page)
