Council Offices and Facilities

The Pre-Reformation burial ground and church site of Carrick Mor (Big Carrick) features the former Protestant Church, now restored as a heritage Centre. Many interesting gravestones are to be found including a memorial to Thomas Butler (d.1604) an illegitimate son of Thomas, 10th Earl of Ormond. Buried here also is Dorothea Herbert (1770-1829), author of “Retrospections”. Numerous local artefacts and photographs are on display. Also on display is the 17th century Duke of Ormonde Church Plate Collection.

The award winning Heritage Centre is located on Main Street in Cashel. A large scale model of Cashel in the 1640's highlights the lesser known treasures of the town. Audio commentary is in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Irish and English. The Charters of Cashel, King Charles II 1663 and James II 1687 are on permanent display. Free Admission.
