Dating from 5, 200 years situated on the highest hilltop in County Meath overlooking Oldcastle. Traces of some 25 Neolithic passage tombs radiate out from the main Cairn T where autumn and spring equinox dawn sunlight enters and illuminates abstract rock engravings in the interior of the burial chamber. Below Cairn T is the so-called Hag's Chair stone seat
