This is the view from the top of Knockgraffon Motte as it was in 1996. The Motte, 20 metres across at its summit with a bailey to the north-west, dates from the 12th/13th centuries, estimated to have been built in 1192 and was once the site of coronations of the Kings of Munster, until this function was taken over by the town of Cashel. Time photo taken not available.
