    MASS PATHS
    There is a kind of cave in Ardglass called the “Mass Cave”. It is said that in the penal days the priests said Mass there. It is very hard to find it out. There was a man coming out of the bog one day, and the car got caught in a rock. When he was trying to free it he discovered a piece of an iron cross buried. It is like an underground cave. There is a narrow path leading into it. It is said that the people were afraid to make a wide path for fear it would be discovered by the enemy.
