In the Penal Times, when Catholic worship was forbidden, itinerant priests used to celebrate masses in the open air in out of the way places where the danger of being arrested by the agents of the Crown was less. One such place was The Rock between Castlewellan and Kilcoo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_rock
