The Rock of Cashel needs no introduction - a majestic monastery built on top of a limestone outcrop. The GSI has done a survey here and noted the presence of folds that can be seen at the posted coordinates. 

I will try my best to keep this listing short.

Logging Tasks

This questions in this EC may seem a little long, but do not worry too much - I won't decline your log in the event of wrong answers. So long as you try your best and have proven your attempt and visit to the site, that will suffice to claim the smiley. 

Notes: You are essentially asked to look for the dimensions of the rocks - in the "middle" and at the "end" and try to correlate them

1. At the posted coordinates (car park), look at the face of the rock (Eastern side). Can you see any layering? If you don't, look at the thickness of the rocks and where the "cracks" form. Notice long lines? Those are the layers.
   • Take note of the dimensions of the layers for Q3
   • Are the layers horizontal or vertical.
2. Facing the rock from here, turn left until you reach the road that leads up to the visitor centre. Turn right until you see the outcrop again. You should be at the end of the outcrop (coords: N 52° 31.180 W 007° 53.398). You should be able to climb onto the rocks easily from here. Note the dimensions and orientation of the rocks. Again, look for long continuos lines to identify layers.
   • Take note of the dimensions of the layers for Q3
   • Can you see any layers? Are they horizontal or vertical now?
3. Climb onto the outcrop and walk along the perimeter that you saw in Q1.
   • Now that you are on top, what diffences in width/length/thickness/orientation can you see between the rock in the middle (as seen in Q1) and the rock at the end (as seen in Q2)
4. Q1 and Q2, if done correctly, you would notice that there is a correlation between the answers. 
   • Estimate the angle of the incline. 
   • What is the nature of the fold?
   • What is the shape of the fold?
5. Provide a photo of your visit to the location with your GC name or a personal item. Proof of your visit will always be welcome in the event of unsatisfactory answers.

Folds

Folds are wave-like geologic structures that form when rocks deform by bending instead of breaking under compressional stress. Let's see some fold classifications.

The above 2 images shows characteristics:

1. Nature of the fold
2. Shape of the fold
