  1. The Mass Rock at Cockhill

    Share Share Post
    There is Mass Rick beside the Cranna river near Cockhill bridge. Long ago the Priests used to say Mass there, when they weren't allowed to say Mass in the Churches. One day one of Priest's sent a message to the people to come to hear Mass. The British Soldiers heard of it and they were coming to kill the Priest. When they were near Cockhill a great mist came and they passed by the place. The Priest and the people were glad when they escaped.
    I got this story from my father
