- 1. There is a bush in a field belonging to Mr. Tobias Troy, townland of Knocka, parish of Drom, Co. Tipperary. It is called the bell bush. Priests used to say Mass there in the Penal Times. It is supposed that there is a path leading from the Castle of Knocka to the Castle of Loughmore, underground. That was the way people used to go from one castle to another. Up to this day stands a stone in a field belonging to Mr. Thomas Troy, parish of Drom, Co. Tipperary. Some thirty years ago Thomas Troy dug up the earth around it and brought up skulls. People were buried there in Penal Times.
