[1][2] St. Dominic's Abbey is located 300 metres (330 yd) southeast of the Rock of Cashel.

[citation needed] It was later burned accidentally and rebuilt and co-founded by John Cantwell II in 1480.

[citation needed] It was partly leased by Prior Edward Brown 1535-6 and dissolved in 1540; it was surrendered by Prior Edward Brown on 8 April 1540 and leased to Peter Kelly and Walter Fleming.

It was then composed of church and belfry, a dormitory, a chamber with two cellars, a cemetery, two orchards, and two parks or gardens containing two acres.

[citation needed] The abbey is quasi-cruciform in plan with a high tower over the crossing.
