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.

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.
