              A chapel was built here in 1806, on the site of a former Mass 
                Rock, at a cost of £1,000 which was defrayed by subscriptions. 
                It was described in 1836 as a stone, roughcast, whitewashed building 
                in the shape of a T, capable of holding 1000 people with an average 
                attendance of 1,400. It was rebuilt in 1868 by Father John Brennan 
                and dedicated by Dr Leahy on 12 Oct 1862.
