Rakenny/Rathkenny House	A two storey square block of a house built in the late 1820s for Theophilus Lucas-Clements to the design of William Farrell. According to Bence Jones it was built with money given to Theophilus ‘by his cousin, Harriet, whose father, Captain John Clements, made a considerable fortune commanding a ship in the East India Company service’. A previous Clements home had been located on the other side of the Annalee River, of which the 18th century demesne and tea house survive and a walled garden dating back to 1695. Rakenny is the name of the house on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) but the house is commonly known as Rathkenny. It had a rateable valuation of £48.5.0. in the mid-19th century. Rathkenny House continued to be the home of the Lucas-Clements family until it was put up for sale in 2012 (Irish Times, 10 May 2012).

It is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) when it is shown as a square block of four buildings surrounding a court yard. Valued at £10.5.0. at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, it was occupied by William Armstrong (Lewis records J. Armstrong as proprietor of Woodford, parish of Enniskeen).
