Ninemilehouse (Irish: Tigh na Naoi Míle), historically called Killcullen (Irish: Cill Chuillinn)[1] is a village in County Tipperary, Ireland. It lies on the N76 national secondary road at its junction with the R690 regional road.
Ninemilehouse is on the border with County Kilkenny, on a pass through the eastern foothills of Slievenamon. It derives its name from the fact that it is nine Irish miles (18 km; 11 statute miles) along Glenbower along the turnpike road.[2]
