- There is a Mass-Rock in Sladrin, and the name of priest that said mass there was Father Gillespie. Once there was a very holy woman whose name was Mary Ann Mc Lauglhin and every time she missed mass she went to pray at this Rock. This Rock is in Denis Moran's land, Sledrin.
There is another Mass Rock in Gortyaragan and it is said that this Mass Rock was rolled from a field down to the road. There is a little hole in the middle of this Rock and it is full of water the whole year round.
