There is also another tree in Kilmeaden which is called the hangman's tree because during the Penal Times a man named Langley used to hang the people on it. There is a path in Ballyduff which is called the Mass path because during the Penal Times the people used to follow it to Mass. The Priest used to say Mass in Ballyduff under a bush and ever since that bush is called the Mass bush. I have heard since that there was a chapel in the Millstreat long ago and there was a graveyard there too. There is a stone in that field yet and there are little hollows in it the shape of saucers. Twas in those little hollows that the holy water used to be. That field has since been called the Chapel Field. There is a rock in Knockaderry and it is called the Cows Rock. It got that name because there was a cow there long ago.
