The Altars, Ballaghadereen
The Altars, Ballaghadereen
The Altars, outside Ballaghaderreen has actually four altars, each facing the Cardinal points. It is more commonly called "The Four Altars", and was erected in penal times, to offer protection to priests while saying mass. People too could escape into the woods if necessary. The choice of altar depended on the weather. If the wind was northerly the priest chose the altar facing south. The cross that stood on top of the structure was blown down some 100 years ago.
