This may relate to what's shown on the modern 1:25000 map as Antell's
Farm. It's near Walton Elm, reference 776176.

I remember it well. I was often taken, as a kid, to visit the elderly
couple who lived there - not that you'd find them in the 1841 Census
Return, of course!

In case you don't know, Marnhull is a very large, scattered village, with
little groups of houses everywhere. Anthilly may have been the name given
to one such group.
