The last major site we visited was the Rock of Cashel. It's one of the biggest and oldest castles in Ireland. It's also a church (or was) complete with a cemetery around back that the locals still use.
Here's the front of one of the chapels:
I don't know what was in this tomb-like thing, but it's certainly not there anymore!
Not too many of the ceilings were intact, but we found a side passage that connected to this chamber:
They were doing some structural reinforcement the day we visited, but overall, the castle was still an impressive site. In this shot you can see the cathedral, castle, and cemetery elements.

Went to your blog from R & E's blog...I so enjoyed the blogging about Ireland. I have wanted to visit there for quite awhile but I don't think it'll happen. But soooo enjoyed the tales of your visit!
