The Rock of Cashel


On Tuesday I ventured out of Dublin to a small town called Cashel which is home to the Rock of Cashel.  For years the rock had been the seat of the Kings of Munster, until 1101 when Muircheartach Ua Briain gave the land to the church to boost his standing with the church and keep his enemies from seizing this prized location.  The above photo shows me standing in front of the Round Tower and Cathedral from the north east side of the Rock.
