In olden days in Ireland the priests had to take to the hills, to escape the "Red Coats". The rocks on which the Priest said Mass were called "Mass Rocks". At the present day one can be seen about seven miles from here at Corrig-Mo-Cléir. The people used to collect at that rock to hear Mass. They used to attend from all over the neighbourhood, while others would act as scouts, in case there would be an invasion of the "Red Coats".
