| HOLY CROSS ABBEY, COUNTY TIPPERARY.- This beautiful and romantically environed monastic ruin is situated on the verdant bank of the charming River Suir, about eight miles almost due northward from Cashel. The foundation of this once magnificent temple is usually credited to Donald O'Brien, surnamed the Red, King of Limerick, who built it for a community of Cltercian monks in 1182. |
