Killincarrig

Killincarrig (Irish: Coillín na Carraige, meaning 'little wood of the rock')[1] is a village between Greystones and Delgany in North County Wicklow.

Like neighbouring Delgany it has been steadily built up over the past 40 years and now forms part of the continuous urban area of Greystones.

Some of its historical sites are the 16th-century ruins of an Elizabethan manor House called Killincarrig Castle, and an 18th-century Flour Mill.

Killincarrick House, the seat of A. Jones, Esq., is situated in grounds tastefully laid out and commanding very fine mountain and sea views: in the demesne are the ivy-clad remains of an ancient castle, in which several silver coins of William III.

They owned the first Killincarrick House, which was demolished at the end of the 19th century and is now the location of Greystones Golf Club.

The Hawkins Whitshed family built a new Killincarrick House[7] (Later became The Woodlands Hotel) closer to Greystones village, which was home to the trailblazing Mountaineer Elizabeth Hawkins-Whitshed.
