History

Evidence of settlement in the Neolithic Period (3700-3400 BC) was found at the ancient burial site in Linkardstown in 1943. The find consisted of a polygonal stone chamber paved with stones that sloped upwards and inwards. Inside was found the remains of a single human, along with some pottery.

Linkardstown Church and Graveyard is now in ruins, but the old stone baptismal font used in the church and which dates from the 18th century now stands in the grounds of the modern St. Joseph's Church, Tinryland.

Ballyloo Castle, only a fragment of which remains, was home to the Kavanagh family and was built by Art Óg Kavanagh of Pulmonty, King of Leinster who died in 1417. This castle was the centre for the Kavanagh's of Ballyloo until the arrival of Oliver Cromwell 200 years later.[ citation needed ]
