You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Name==
The first part of the name "Rostrevor" comes from the Irish word ''ros'', meaning a wood or wooded headland.<ref name=logainm/><ref name="PNI">((Cite web|url=http://www.placenamesni.org/resultdetails.php?entry=15298|title=Placenames NI: Rostrevor|accessdate=16 March 2023))</ref> The second part of the name comes from [[Edward Trevor|Sir Edward Trevor]] from [[Denbighshire]] in Wales, who settled in the area in the early 17th century and was succeeded by his son [[Marcus Trevor, 1st Viscount Dungannon|Marcus Trevor]], who later became [[Viscount Dungannon]]. Walter Harris, writing in 1744, mistakenly believed that the first part of the name came from Sir Edward Trevor's wife Rose, a daughter of [[Henry Ussher]], [[Archbishop of Armagh]]. His etymology was later repeated by some other writers.<ref name="PNI"/><ref name="Raymonds">((cite web|url=http://www.raymondscountydownwebsite.com/html/mourne8.htm|title=Raymonds County Down|access-date=18 September 2014))</ref> Before Sir Edward Trevor's renaming of the area it was known as ''Caisleán Ruaidhrí'' (((lang-en|Rory's castle))), anglicised "Castle Rory" or "Castle Roe", after one of the [[Magennis]] lords of [[Iveagh]].<ref name="PNI"/>

Today the spelling ''Rostrevor'' is used for the village, while the spelling ''Rosstrevor'' is used for the [[townland]].<ref name="PNI"/>

==Places of interest==
Nearby [[Cloughmore]] is a 50-ton [[granite]] [[boulder]] perched on the slopes of Slieve Martin, 1,000&nbsp;ft above the village of Rostrevor, and known locally as 'the big stone'. It was deposited there by retreating [[glacier]]s during the [[Last Glacial Maximum]]. Local legend states that the stone was thrown by Irish mythological hero and frequent [[Giant (mythology)|giant]] [[Fionn mac Cumhaill|Finn McCool]] from the [[Cooley Mountains]], on the other side of [[Carlingford Lough]], to settle a fight with a local frost-giant named Ruiscairre, burying him underneath the boulder. Walking around the stone seven times will allegedly bring good luck.

The old church, supposedly built on an original site established by St [[Brónach]], stands in the graveyard on the Kilbroney road. It became a [[listed building]] in 1983.

In the village's Catholic church is the bell of Brónach, dating from around 900 A.D. There are many stories of how the bell used to scare locals walking past St Bronach's church on stormy nights. All they could hear was a mighty sound and did not know the source; many believed it to be a calling from God. It was said that the ringing of the bell warned of rough water on the lough. In 1885, the bell was found in the fork of an old oak tree, where it had been hidden many years before, probably at the time of the [[Reformation]].<ref>((Cite web |date=2014-05-19 |title=Calendar of Irish Saints |url=http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/stpatrick/Calendar-of-Irish-Saints-A1456 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140519203244/http://www.discovernorthernireland.com/stpatrick/Calendar-of-Irish-Saints-A1456 |archive-date=2014-05-19  |access-date=2022-11-06 ))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=The Hidden Bell of Bronach Kilbroney |url=https://www.thelastleprechaunsofireland.com/stories/the-hidden-bell-of-bronach-kilbroney/ |access-date=2022-11-06 |website=The Last Leprechauns of Ireland |language=en-GB))</ref>

The village has two rivers, the Ghan and the Fairy Glen, so named because many fairies are suspected of living along the banks of the river.((Citation needed|date=February 2018))
