Ryan also from the parish of Drom used to say Mass there every month. One day he had Mass barely finished when nine or ten English soldiers which were look- looking for him passed the place.
In a field owned by Michael Meagher in the townland of Kilvilcorris, parish of Drom, is a path. It is called the Mass path. The people used (to) go to Mass by that path. A priest by the name of Fr. Murphy was walking along the path one day. He saw people a half mile off. He knew they were not Irish people so he went into an old shed and hid himself. After a start he saw the people again. It was an English officer and a few soldiers. They were looking for him but they did not see him. The path is still used by the people.In another field owned by Thomas Troy in the parish of Drom, is a rock. In the Penal Days a priest used to hide there.- Collector
