- Páirc an Aifrinn
There is an enclosed field situated near the Punch-Bowl. It is called Páirc an Aifrinn. It is said that Mass used to be said there during the time of Cromwell. The people from the country-side used to attend Mass there. It is down in a hollow and so it was a great hiding-place for it would be unlikely to attract the attention of Cromwell’s soldiers and probably one of te friars from the abbey was hiding somewhere near the field. In the same district there is another lonely spot; it is a rock called ‘carraig an aifrinn’
