Newhall is a 17th century country estate near Ennis in County Clare in Ireland, historically held by members of the Irish landed gentry. The front section of the house was added during the Georgian period, creating a T-shaped design with an elongated older rear section which was used partially as servants quarters.
The estate's demesne includes a holy well, gate lodges, woodlands, parklands, lakes, Killone Abbey (founded 1190 by Donald Mor O’Brien King of Thomond, for nuns of the rule of St. Augustine and later protected as a national monument) and has an associated folklore legend concerning a mermaid.
