    Páirc an Aifrinn
    Páirc an Aifrinn is situated half was up Mangerton. It is called Páirc an Aifrinn because in the time of Cromwell when he hunted priests, Mass used be said in that field. It was said here because, if the soldiers came upon the people they used to be able to hide in the mountain (456, 262)
    Mass Rock
    There is a field in upper Killeagy called the Clocán. It is called Clocán because it is all stones. The word Clocán means the stony field. There is a very big rock in that field on which Mass used be said long ago (456, 262)
