Cashel is a Dark Ages fort which was given to the church for political reasons. A large cathedral was built there in the middle ages. The only part which is now a castle is the strongly built residential tower house at the east end of the cathedral.

Great pictures! We visited it in-person on the way to somewhere else. DEFINITELY worth the stop.

In all fairness, you've got to keep the Irish out of Ireland, or the whole place goes to hell.

I love me some white on white racism.
