The caretaker is not required to accompany visitors on the site.

If unauthorised actions occur at the monument, the caretaker is obliged to contact and inform the Kilkenny National Monuments Depot. If a member of the public is aware of any unauthorised actions occurring at the site then he or she can also contact and inform the Depot. The Depot will then consider this information and take appropriate action.
