- Carraig and AifrinnIn the townland of Carrickabrennan there is a famous rock known as :-"Carraig an Aifrinn".Here priests used to celebrate Mass during the Penal days.It is firmly believed that a Bishop was killed while celebrating Mass at this rock.
- On the Mountain top mid-way between Glangevlin and Ballinglera there is an Altar made of stone.There are many versions of the origin of this erection.(a) An old priest told me that at one time Glangevlin and Ballinaglera were one parish and that neither Parishes possessed any chapel or place of worship. The Parish priest in charge of this large area, had to celebrate Holy Mass midway between the Parishes, - hence the erection of a stone Altar between Ballinaglera and Glangevlin, became a necessity and to this day remains 'Cloc-an-t-Sagairt' a lasting memorial of the Faith and Devotion of the Irish people.(continues on next page)
