- There is a place in the townland of Maghermore where mass was said in the penal times. It belongs to John McLoskey now. There is a small path through the bushes leading to it. One every side a row of bluebells grow every Summer. the mark of the place the mass was said is there yet. The priests stopped in the houses in our district.

- There is another mass rock above John Kearney's. It is shaped roughly like a heart. There is no mark on this rock. Neither is there any path about it. It is turned on its side a little on account of how long it has been there.
- There is another mass rock over in Neilly Diver's field in the Whinfield but there is not much word about this one.
