What is recorded here

The W edge of a piece of rock outcrop, on the N edge of a hillock, has a carving of a small cross with the foot expanded to depict a possible chalice. Also carved on the rock is a name (C. Dolan) and date (1866). In addition there is what appears to be a word in Irish. According to local information in the 1930's, Oliver Plunkett is suppose to have said mass here (IFC Schools' Mss, 674, 133). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 17 July 2012
