The Rock is a small village in eastern Tyrone, approximately 5 miles south-west of Cookstown. The village and surrounding area is located mainly within the parish of Desertcreat.
The village name was recorded originally as Baile na Carraige ('Village of rock').[1] A stone quarry later operated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A Mass rock exists in Tullyodonnell, half a mile from the village.
