- There is a mass rock in Cornelius Mc Daids farm in Lower Illies about six miles east from Buncrana. A cave runs underground from the mass to the next farm which is east of it and if the soldiers came while the priest was saying mass he would go into the cave and place a stone in the mouth of it so they would not find him. In the mass rock there is a round hole which the holy water used to be kept. Two or three yards to the side of the mass rock is another rock which was supposed to shelter the mass rock.
