The Rock of Cashel

A series of churches, cemetery and monuments to faith sit high above the little town of Cashel. 

Tragedy struck the cathedral when Cromwell burned it with 2000 townspeople inside.

The only thing saved from that day was a 16th century chalice that had been thrown into the well.

A cross shaped grave marker for the O'Sullivan family was hit by lightening.  While most broken fragments surround the marker, some flew 20 meters away.

The Bishops Palace fell into ruin after the Cromwell attack. In a fierce storm a corner stone fell to the ground and remains there to this day.

In the area below, you can see the ruins of a monastery behind this statue of Mary.
