Built in 1910 this is an old school house no longer in use and long abandoned, in West Sligo, Ireland.

In the background is a small green field with a small alter and white crosses. This is known locally as Massrock. Back in penal times when priest were killed if caught practicing catholicism, this area was used due to its remote location and lookout vantage point. If priest hunters were seen approaching the locals would hide the priest in a hole in the ground that is still there to this day.

It didn't look like this back then, with just a simple rock for an altar. The small wooden shelter and crosses have been erected in recent times as a memorial.

The image was shot with a P4 standard with some photoshopping to lift the colors.

Awesome picture.

Great capture! Thanks for sharing the story with us.

Nice shot there & place looks to be in pretty fair condition.

Great shot. The land that Time forgot? I'm imagining the view in the other direction (behind the drone). Is it a view across a valley, or maybe out to sea?   Thanks for the share.

Here is the view from other side.
You will see the old school house near the middle of the shot. Massrock is to the right but out of shot due to the trees covering it.

Fantastic!

Great photo and story

Love the image and the story behind it.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely shot. The Emerald Isle has some really stunning scenery and amazing flight locations.

Beautiful pictures from a beautiful land. As it is an old School House, is that where the school was and if so is there a village close by for the children? Possibly it was for crofters who would be well spread out.

What an interesting history.  Great shot too...

Very good shots along with the informative description.
