Mass-rock (present location) in Drumeela

Situated on a level landscape at the edge of the carpark of Drumeela Roman Catholic church. A sandstone block (dims of top 1.3m x 0.6m; H 1.05m) is set up on its narrow base and supported by low walls to the E and W. It had been moved from the bottom of a W-facing slope in Annagh townland c. 300m to E (LE030-050----) where it had lain prone. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 14 October 2019

A mass-rock associated with clandestine Catholic worship during the Penal Times; such sites were used to celebrate Mass in secret when religious persecution was high. Local tradition holds that priests and congregations gathered at such rocks to maintain their faith despite legal restrictions.
