   In the penal times Randlestown was the old place for saying Mass. There is an old Chapel in Randlestown where Mass used to be said in Penal days. The people who owned the Chapel were the Randles. There was an old graveyard near the Chapel. In some years later the Chapel was knocked. The ruins are there yet. There was a hole in the ground. The people could go into the hole and walk through it.
