Newcastle (Irish:An Caisleán Nua) is a feudal title of nobility and one of the baronies of Ireland. It was constituted as part of the old county of Dublin. Today, it lies in the modern county of South Dublin. At the heart of the barony is the civil parish of the same name - Newcastle - which is one of eleven civil parishes in the barony. The ruins of the eponymous castle, also known as Newcastle-Lyons, are located in the townland of Newcastle South. The town with the biggest population in the barony is Lucan.
Location
It is one of seven and a half baronies that used to comprise the old county of Dublin. It stretches from the River Liffey to the Wicklow Mountains (from north to south) and from the border with County Kildare to Clondalkin and Palmerstown (from west to east). It is located between the baronies of Castleknock (north of the river), Uppercross (to the east) and South Salt, County Kildare (to the south and west). Apart from an exclave of the civil parish of Leixlip that lies beyond the river, the rest of the barony is contained within the modern county of South Dublin and it is subject to South Dublin County Council.
The Uí Theig (O'Tighe), cousins to the Uí Máil, are noted early here, as well as the Uí Braen Deilgni, a branch of the Uí Garrchon. This was part of O'Byrne (Ó Broin) country after the 12th century, referred to in Gaelic as Crioch Branach.
