KILMACUD, a parish, in the half-barony of RATHDOWN, county of DUBLIN, and province of LEINSTER, 4 miles (S. E.) from Dublin; containing 145 inhabitants. It comprises about 260 acres, which are in a high state of cultivation; and from the salubrity of its air and the beauty of its marine and mountain views, it is a favourite spot for country residences. Among these are Riddesdale, the seat of His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin; Kilmacud House, of T. Mooney, Esq.; Merville, of W. J. McCausland, Esq.; Lakelands, of S. Boileau, Esq.; Woodley, of P. A. Leslie, Esq.; Rockfield, of J. Hone, Esq.; Westbury, of E. O'Beirne, Esq.; Kilmacud Cottage, of W. Flood, Esq.; and Parson's Green, of W. S. Magee, Esq.

It is a chapelry, in the diocese of Dublin, forming part of the union of Stillorgan; the tithes amount to £42. In the R. C. divisions it forms part of the union or district of Booter's-town. This is said to be the birth-place of St. Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne, from whom its name is derived.
