Visit Notes

What a great place this is. The OS map indicates a barrow and an enclosure, the reality is much different! Well worth the little climb up the hill.

See all the subsites to find out why!

Directions

To reach Newtown Hill the best plan is to park at Johnny Fox's pub in Glencullen and walk east towards Kiltiernan until you rach the new church. I crossed to the rear of the churchyard, scrambled over the wall and walked up the hill through the fields.
