“Near Ballineen Co. Cork there is a big rock in a field called the rock of the Mass.”
Near Ballineen Co. Cork there is a big rock in a field called the rock of the Mass. Long ago in Ireland in the Penal days the Priest used to say Mass on the rock. The Priest used to hide in the mountains. There was a reward of five pounds for anyone who would bring in the head of a Priest. The soldiers used to hunt the Priests and kill them. The Priests never said Mass in the houses, only out in the open field, or on a mountain.- Collector
