- Mass Field
Not far from the Duneand graveyard of Clopook is a place called the ‘Mass Field’, where the faithful were supposed to assemble for the celebration of the divine mysteries in the Penal days.
It is just situated behind the Dune of Luggacurren. The field belongs to Mr A Byrne. In another field at the side of Clopook Dune is a very remarkable big stone Liagán. This is about seven and a half feet high. It is of equal breadth. Some persons dug around it to see how much was sunk under the earth . they discovered as much under as over the earth ‘Cloch Liadán’
