Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) THE ROCK OF CASHEL. Cashel is a cathedral city, and formerly was the seat of an archbishop, but since 1834 has been a bishopric only, the church of St. John being used as the cathedral. It was formerly the capital of the Kings of Munster. The celebrated Rock is now the chief point of interest about the place. This is a mass of limestone rising steeply out of the plain to a height of 300 feet, and crowned by the ruins of the old cathedral, King Cormacs chapel, and a round tower. The ecclesiastical buildings are remarkable for their rich and varied ornament, and for being fortified above. It is also to be noticed that the chapel and cathedral are rather differently orientated. The cathedral was burnt in 1495 by the Earl of Kildare. In the cemetery is the old stone cross at which the Kings of Munster used to be crowned.
