The village is situated in the ~~townlands~~[[townland]]s of [[Ardbrin]] and [[Tullintanvally]] and both it and the civil parish are located in the historic [[Barony (geographic)\|barony]] of [[Iveagh Upper, Upper Half]].<ref>{{cite web\|title=Annaclone\|url=http://www.placenamesni.org/resultdetails.php?entry=35620\|website=Place Names NI\|accessdate=17 April 2015}}</ref> It had a population of 150 people (61 households) in the 2011 Census.<ref name="Cen">{{cite web\|title=Annaclone \|url=http://www.nisra.gov.uk/census/2011/results/settlements.html \|website=Census 2011 Results \|publisher=NI Statistics and Research Agency \|accessdate=30 April 2015 \|url-status=dead \|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150422012413/http://www.nisra.gov.uk/census/2011/results/settlements.html \|archivedate=22 April 2015 }}</ref> The geography of Annaclone is typical of much of the area around the [[Mourne Mountains]] with rolling drumlins and farmland. [[Corbet]] Lough is a particular place of interest for anglers while the highest point of the parish, locally known as 'the Knock' offers panoramic views of the [[Mourne Mountains]] towards the south and [[Slieve Croob]] towards the north east. ~~There is also an ancient cairn on the summit.~~ ==History== The marsh in the [[Ardbrin]] area of Annaclone is of particular historical interest and several [[Celts\|Celtic]] artefacts were found in it, including a horn known as the 'Ardbrin Horn' which now resides in the [[National Museum of Ireland]], [[Dublin]]. Historically the area belonged to the [[Magennis]] clan,. ~~whose~~The ~~castle,~~remains noof ~~longer~~their ~~standing,~~castle ~~was~~are situated in nearby [[Rathfriland]]. Indeed, the aforementioned Celtic artefacts found in the parish cement its link with the ancient clan. ==People== [[Patrick ~~Bronte~~Brontë]], father of [[Charlotte ~~Bronte~~Brontë]] and [[Emily ~~Bronte~~Brontë]], was born in the parish in 1777 and also taught in a school in the parish.<ref>{{cite web\|last1=McNeill\|first1=Leo\|title=Parish of Annaclone\|url=http://lisburn.com/books/dromore-diocese/parish-annaclone.html\|website=The Diocese of Dromore.

Although Patrick ~~Bronte~~Brontë's house is now in ruins, the nearby ~~Bronte~~Brontë Interpretative Centre maintains the link between the family and the area. Catherine O'Hare, the first European woman to cross the [[Canadian Rockies]] (with her husband Mr. Schubert, and two small children, en route to the [[Fraser Valley#History\|Fraser Valley gold rush]]), was born around 1835 in the townland of Ballybrick in Annaclone.<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/exhibits/bc-archives-time-machine/galler10/frames/schubert.htm \|title=Catherine O'Hare Schubert (1835-1918) \|work=[[Royal British Columbia Museum]] \|access-date=2020-04-05}}</ref> ==Sport== The parish has a strong GAA club, Annaclone GAC (Gaelic Athletic Club). Founded in 1897 ~~it is the second oldest club of its kind in the county after Leitrim Fontenoys~~. Annaclone also plays host to a stage of the [[Circuit of Ireland Rally]] as well as many cycling events throughout the year. ==Civil parish of Annaclone== The civil parish of Annaclone includes the village of Annaclone. ===Townlands=== The civil parish contains the following townlands: {{div col\|colwidth=15em}} [[Ardbrin]] [[Aughnacloy, County Down\|Aughnacloy]] [[Ballynafern]] [[Ballynafoy (Annaclone)\|Ballynafoy]] [[Ballynagross]] [[Ballynanny (Annaclone)\|Ballynanny]] [[Ballysheil, County Down\|Ballysheil]] Cappagh Clay [[Derrylough, County Down\|Derrylough]] [[Lisnasliggan]] Tullintanvally {{div col end}} ==See also== Line 44 ⟶ 67: ==References== {{reflist}} {{~~Commonscat~~Commons category\|Annaclone}} ==External links== *[http://www.annaclonehistory.com/ Annaclone History] {{County Down}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Civil parish of Annaclone\| ]] [[Category:Villages in County Down]]
