High Hill Farm, also known as Connemara Farm, is a historic farm complex located at Thornton, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The complex includes the great double barn and farmhouse, both dated principally to the early 20th century; a carriage house and stable, dated to the 1880s; a creamery, and various sheds. The great double barn is a "T"-shaped, bank barn wood building. It features a pair of great sliding doors on the uphill side. It is the largest remaining barn in Delaware County. The farmhouse is a 2 1/2-story, modified center hall Georgian style house. It features a broad shed roof dormer.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 by John and Ethel Giblin.[1]
