  2. Penal Days - Mass Rock

    Share Share Post
    There are two big rocks in Simon Deasy's land which the priests used for altars in the Penal times. There are holes in the rocks in which the candles were placed when saying Mass. The priests had a very hard time in those days because if the soldiers caught them saying Mass they would kill them.
