  1. A Mass Rock in Liscarney

    Share Share Post
    There is a Mass rock in Liscarney above Peter McGovern's house. It is a high rock about four feet high and there is a track of St Patrick's knee on top of the rock. Mass used to be said there in the olden days and priests used to hide there because the rock is in a hollow. There is a path around that rock. When it rains the track of St. Patrick's knee is full of water. Many people often went to see that rock. There bushes and whins growing around it now so that you barely can see the rock.
