The Loughcrew cairns are located 40 kilometres from Newgrange, situated on three hill summits near the town of Oldcastle.
The hills, Carnbane West, Carnbane East and Patrickstown, are known collectively as Sliabh na Caillighe, or the Mountain of the Witch . The burial chambers are probably older than Newgrange, dating to between 3500 and 3300 BC.
