    (continued from previous page)
    My grandmother told me that Mass was also said under a bush above Jim Rourke's house on a lane going up to the house lately occupied by Clements.
    Denis Keenan Knox told me that Mass was also said in Walshes in Harrow Lane the place owned by Knaggs.
    Fr Kavanagh is the priest most mentioned as reading Mass in these remote spots. Fr Quigley, a Franciscian is also mentioned as saying Mass in these places at a much later date
