Loughcrew, Oldcastle, County Meath, Ireland. Loughcrew is a site of some historically important locations in Ireland. It is the site of ancient burial grounds and the birthplace of St Oliver Plunkett.

The Loughcrew Cairns

The Loughcrew cairns are amongst the oldest structures in the world, built approximately 3300 BC as passage tombs. The cairns are built on the highest hills in the region, the "Sliabh na Caillighe". They have been relatively undeveloped (compared to Newgrange), which has left the region unspoilt.

Oliver Plunkett

Loughcrew is the birthplace of Oliver Plunkett. The family church stands in the grounds of Loughcrew gardens
