Description In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association Survey noted a house known as Mount Ruby which had been built by Arthur Gethin Creagh, c.1903-04. Its title echoes the name of another house in the same townland which has been known since the eighteenth century as Killetra House but which was originally called Mount Ruby. The twentieth century house, built in the Arts-and-Crafts style, is also still extant and occupied.
