Athassel Priory
“Located in the village of Golden between Cashel and Tipperary town, this 12th century Augustinian priory is believed to have been the largest medieval priory in Ireland before it burned in 1447. Significant remnants of the massive complex are still in tact including the ancient arched bridge, gate house and several other structures.
Be on the look out for the face that projects from the southwest corner of the chapel tower, about 30 feet off the ground. Athassel is not a common tourist destination, so there is no car park (just pull to the side of the road) and entrance will require climbing at least one style (steps built in to the wall) and it is self-guided, open until sunset and free.”
