Oldcastle is rich in historical, archaeological, religious and
natural interest.
The Loughcrew Cairns (prehistoric passage graves), some 5,000 years
old, are perhaps the oldest calendar known, and may even be the
world's oldest existing dwellings.
The heartland of Loughcrew belonged to the Plunkett family.
St. Oliver Plunkett, Ireland's most recent saint, was born and
reared here. His family church still stands in Loughcrew and is the
focus of devotion to St. Oliver.
