Hore Abbey (also known as St. Mary's) is a ruined Cistercian monastery near the Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary, Republic of Ireland.
The former Benedictine abbey at Hore was given to the Cistercians by Archbishop David Mac Cerbaill in 1270. Cerbaill later entered the monastery, and was buried there in 1289. He endowed the Abbey generously with land, mills and other benefices previously belonging to the town.
He was by all accounts a quarrelsome man, who in his long career clashed with the Dean of Cashel, his fellow bishops, and the Dublin administration.
