    Mass Rock hidden away in lonely glens where the priest used to gather his flock for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice.
    The cruel soldiers always had spies to find out where the priests were hidden and they paid a large sum of money for a priest dead or alive. There was a priest saying Mass near Tubbernalth and he was killed. There is a holy well there now and crowds of people visit it every year.
