House name Description
St Anne's Hill Richard Barter occupied a house valued at £55 in the townland of Kilnamucky at the time of Griffith's Valuation. St Anne's Hill is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map in this townland. By the 1890s this property had become absorbed into a complex of buildings labelled Hydropathic Establishment. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes that most of the complex is now in ruins though Maranatha House survives as a residence. Photo of St Anne's Hill
