The Rock:  St.Patricks Rock Cashel, image above © 2026 O J D., was taken Winter of 1998, from approach foreground : The site, is a limestone outcrop dominating the skyline. Conall Corc built a defensive position on the site of the Rock in the 4/5th C. St. Patricks Rock became the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland. Originally it was the seat of the Kings of Munster until Brian Boru High King of Ireland came to power and in 1101 Muircheartach OBrien handed the Rock over to the Church.The Rock comprises of several buildings built during different periods. Cormac's chapel was begun in 1127 and was completed in 1134, it is constructed of sandstone and is a superb example of Hiberno-Romanesque Architecture. The main structure, the cathedral was built in the 13th C. It occupies the site of Donal Mor OBriens cathedral built in 1169 . It is cruciform in shape with a long choir, veryshort nave and two chapels in each transept. The Round Tower is 92 ft high and was probably built before Cormacs chapel, it has a Romanesque doorway. The entrance to the site is by way of the Vicars Choral which has been restored and now serves as a Museum. It houses the Original St Patricks Cross (12th C) which was set into the Original ancient Coronation Stone (4th C), which in itself defines spirituality ever before any attempt of Christianity to impose itself on the people. Now a replica of both has been set in its place.
