This small County Kildare town Kilcullen is situated on the River Liffey. Ruins of a round tower and three ninth century high crosses can be found 2 miles away in Old Kilcullen.

The nearby Portlester Tomb dates form the 15th century and is also worth a visit. Tony O'Reilly, perhaps Irleand's first billionaire and former Irish and British Lions rugby player, now owns the local 18th century mansion called Castlemartin House.
