Gortnaglogh Standing Stone, Laois

Just a quick post here today to post a few photographs of Gortnaglogh Standing Stone in Laois.

It's believed this stone was also known as the Mass Stone.

It's further presumed that Mass was held here during the times of the repressive Penal Laws when open Catholic worship was banned and priests were often hunted down and murdered for ministering to their flocks.

The photographs were taken on a misty rainy day and it was hard to get a decent shot.
