is roughly contained within the R418 and R448 routes starting at its most northerly point, a crossroads known locally as Thompson's Cross https://www.townlands.ie/kildare/kilcullen/kilcullen/kilcullen/oldkilcullen/. The townland continues south from this point as far as Harklow and is intersected in its north east corner by the M9 motorway at Abbeyaun.

The original settlement gave its name to the substantial surrounding civil parish and barony.
The urban centre of the area moved 2 km north-east to Kilcullen Bridge on the River Liffey, often now simply known as Kilcullen, following the construction of a bridge there in 1319. Old Kilcullen is just under 5 km from Newbridge and approximately 13 km from Naas.
Old Kilcullen is the site of a round tower and a decorated High Cross. Another, much older, historic site, Dun Ailinne, is located approximately one kilometre away to the north at Knockaulin.
