The Dun was used as a lurking place of worship during the reign of the penal laws and when their terror was mitigated, the spot as consecrated by their persecuted devotedness to the old religion of Kings, deemed it the most glorious site for a Donagh or sacred house of the Lord so that a chapel is now to be seen within the ring of the old fort o Dun Druing!
