Rock of Cashel
The Rock of Cashel is a medieval ecclesiastical and royal complex sited on a limestone plateau above the plain at Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland. The surviving group of buildings—most dating from the 12th and 13th centuries—includes a tall round tower, Cormac's Chapel, a 13th-century cathedral with a central tower and an attached residential tower house, and the Hall of the Vicars Choral, all within a walled plateau that contains a graveyard with high crosses.

Partial ruin
As it stood in 1270
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a walled limestone plateau above the plain, the ensemble reads as a cluster of grey limestone and sandstone masonry: a slender cylindrical round tower about 28 m high, a squat square central tower over the cathedral, a massive residential tower at the west end, and the low aisleless cruciform cathedral with tall narrow lancet openings. Cormac's Chapel projects with twin short towers and a barrel-vaulted interior; in prime condition all roofs and vaults were intact and the site surrounded by a graveyard with high crosses.
