- There is a Mass Bush in the townland of Sopwell in Brennan's field. It is in the centre of the field and the place where mass used to be said is shaped like an altar.
The priests used to celebrate mass there in the Penal days in the mornings when the soldiers used to be out raiding the country. In this big tree their is a holy water font with holy water in it. It is said that anyone who has any disease will be cured by going to this font and rubbing the water on the sore. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
