    Just about enough left to imagine how it was in the past. The vegetation appears to be taking over though.

    I am always eager to photograph ruins. I hope it has heritage site protection.

    Looks like nature is doing a good job of recycling it.

    I wonder if the men who put the stones in place think about how long they would stand there?

    If only we could reach into the memories of those walls.

    Unfortunately we keep very little. When a building is not needed in come the bull dozers. Our buildings are mostly wood so can easily be demolished.

    It is very picturesque sitting there surrounded by green.

    Wow, that's really something to see. We always tear down the old to make way for the new so it's interesting to see something that old.

    I am always fascinated at seeing the left-behinds of places. Even though it's in ruins, St Catherine's was worth a look.

    One of the things I most enjoy about good 'ol Ireland. The older the ruins, the better. :-)

    Great photos of these ruins. I love these types of things, but we don't have many of them here in the US, and certainly not that old. :-) I love stone architecture.
