Meg at the Rock of Cashel

Meg at the Rock of Cashel, originally uploaded by jawsmurphy.

Meg told us a story about a large celtic cross that had fallen in the back cemetary...

The grounds around the buildings are home to an extensive graveyard, which includes a number of high crosses, such as those pictured. The entire plateau atop the rock, on which the buildings and graveyard lie, is walled. One of the largest and most famous high crosses on Cashel was recently destroyed when lightning struck a metal rod that ran the length of the cross.


It was pretty amazing to see just how large this structure was. And a pretty sad sign of the times when Meg grabbed a discarded chips container before I took a photo of the fallen pieces...
