Share Share Post

The Rock of Cashel is situated about seven miles east wards from the school. This is how the rock of Cashel came to Cashel.
One day St Patrick met the devil and the St said that the piece of ground that they were standing on would be some time covered with buildings. Then an angel appeared to them and the devil followed it. When he was passing the Sliabh Bloom Mts. the devil took a bit out of the Mts and dropped it in Cashel where the Rock is now situated. Afterwards there were houses built on it, the round tower, Saint Patrick's cross, Cormac's Chapel, the Cathedral and the Royal residence. The rock of Cashel is about 300 feet high.
