- There is a "Mass Rock" in the village of Rusheen in the parish of Arkeena. It is in the garden a man named Mr Hannon. Mass used to be said here in the penal times. The priest went about disguised as an ordinary person and mass had to be said in lonely places where the English soldiers could not see the priest or the people. The people used also receive the sacrements in the houses that was the beginning of the custom of holding village stations.
