Annaclone

Several Celtic artefacts were found in a marsh in the Ardbrin area of Annaclone. These finds included 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. The remains of their castle are situated in nearby Rathfriland. ==Sport==

The local Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, Annaclone GAC, was founded in 1897. Annaclone has previously played host to a stage of the Circuit of Ireland Rally as well as other cycling events throughout the year. ==People==

• Patrick Brontë, father of Charlotte Brontë and Emily Brontë, was born in the parish in 1777 and also taught in a school in the parish. As a result, the area of southern Annaclone is known as 'The Brontë Homeland'. Although Patrick Brontë's house is now in ruins, the nearby 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 gold rush), was born around 1835 in the townland of Ballybrick in Annaclone. ==Civil parish of Annaclone==
