This hollow is surrounded by a number of hills called Cnocán na h Uireachtas the hill of the gathering so called because a great number of people gathered to them to watch the soldiers while mass was being read. In later years a man named James Slattery was working in the field and he found a little bell said to have been the one used at mass in the Penal days.
