- There is a field in my district called the Priest's Hill because Fr. Ryan owned that hill. There are no stories about that hill. In peal times the priest said Mass in a glen, and in penal times the soldiers sent around shooting the Priests. The Priests built houses in the woods and said Mass in them, they also said Mass in huts.
