    times was called the mass rock. Any person who could get the head of a priest a school teacher or a wolf would get five pounds for it from the English.
    They wanted to banish the wolves the the teachers and the priests out of the country. The Irish people had very small houses that time. If they did not pay the rents as many were not able to do. Then the Land Lord would come along with a crowd of soldiers if the man had not the rent to give to them they would knock down the house with crow-bars.
