In the townland of Dunmuckrim there is a field and in this field there is a very large stone. Long ago there was a chapel here and this stone was used as an altar. It is called “Páirc an Aifrinn” […] ever since which means “the field of the Mass.” One day as a man was digging near this stone, he found an old gun.
