- (continued from previous page)there was that the Catholics would not be permitted to build a church. Then a chapel was built. It was called Golan chapel.There was Mass said, at Legnahoney. The priest used a stone, and then he was surrounded by the people. Some people think that Mass was said in a hollow. in Stewarts Hill. A stone is to be seen where the priest celebrated Mass and above it the people knelt.
- In a place near Letterkenny, known as Sentry Hill mass was said during penal times. This place took its name from the fact that a sentry was placed there as a protection for the priest while saying mass. The mass rock is still to be seen. A quarry has been worked round it in later years which has made it more visible.
