Place & story
Limestone work on Rock Lane
Rock Cottage stands on Rock Lane in Saint Patricksrock townland, within the civil parish of the same name. The architectural inventory dates this Board of Works house to around 1870. Its roughly dressed limestone walls have more carefully worked quoins and stone surrounds to the doors and windows. Slate roofs, a brick chimney and a dormer belong to the older part, while a two-storey rear extension represents later work. The house occupies a corner near the foot of the Rock of Cashel. [2] [3]
