Description Rice Hill was built in the mid-18th century. It was the home of the Bredin family in the first half of the 19th century. It is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). Described by Mulligan as a ‘classic Georgian gentleman’s farmhouse in a small demesne.’ Occupied by Patrick Finnegan and held from the representatives of Sophia Wright in the 1850s, when the buildings were valued at £3.10.0. It was still the home of the Finnegan family at the beginning of the 20th century and continues to be a residence.
