Rock of Cashel

Headed back to Dublin today with the now traditional stop in Cashel.
The Rock is being preserved at the moment so externally its not as impressive due to the scaffolding, at least from some angles. It seems there are very few of these types of structures still upright, and water is their particular poison. A protective roof has been placed over the chapel in order to keep some of the moisture out of the building.
Again our tour guide was brilliant. A local man he kept us captivated for over 90 minutes as he walked us around the site.
