  1. There is a place outside Wexford town which is called the "Three Rock Mountain". Long ago mass was celebrated on the middle rock. There is a watch rock about a hundred yards from one of the other rocks, This rock is only half the size of the mass rock. The Catholics used to keep watch there while the priest was saying mass in case the English soldiers would come and kill them all.
