Suncroft

Suncroft is a townland in County Kildare, Ireland. It is situated approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) west of Curragh and 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) south of Newbridge. Suncroft is primarily a rural area, characterized by agricultural land and scattered residential dwellings.

The name "Suncroft" is believed to be derived from the Irish Seanchrocht, meaning "old burial mound" or "ancient burial place." This suggests historical significance and the possible presence of archaeological remains in the area.

Historically, Suncroft has been part of the Barony of Offaly East. It is within the civil parish of Kill and the electoral division of Kildare Rural.

The population of Suncroft is relatively small and contributes to the overall rural character of County Kildare. While predominantly agricultural, some residents commute to nearby towns for work or business.

Amenities in Suncroft are limited, with essential services and retail outlets typically located in the larger neighboring towns of Curragh and Newbridge. The area is served by local roads connecting it to the regional road network.
