House name Description
Garbally Park In 1783 Taylor and Skinner show Garbally as a seat of the Trench family. Wilson mentions Garbally , "the very fine seat of Willaim Power Keating Trench", in 1786. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the seat of the Earl of Clancarty and was valued at £150. It became St. Joseph's College, Garbally Park, in 1922 and has functioned as a school until very recently. It is still extant. Photo of Garbally Park
Ballyeighter In 1814 Ballyeighter was the residence of Anthony Donnellan. Lewis records Balleighter as the seat of P. Donnellan. By 1855 it was being leased by Lord Clonbrock's estate to Martin Coolahan and was valued at £8. The Coolahans continued to own the property until the mid-20th century when it was divided by the Land Commission who also demolished the house. There is no trace of Ballyeighter now.
Fairfield House Lewis records Fairfield as the residence of T. Wade in 1837. It is described in the Ordnance Survey Name books as "built on rising ground from which there is a good prospect". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was being leased by Thomas Wade from the Handy estate. In 1906 it was in the possession of Rochford Wade when it was valued at £23. Fairfield House is no longer extant and the demesne is the focus for a major sawmilling operation. Photo of Fairfield House
Oatfield Oatfield House, owned by John Longworth , was vacant at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Earlier, in 1837, Lewis had recorded it as the seat of Major Lynch even though this house had been in the possession of the Longworth family since at least 1814. The Ordnance Survey Field name books also record it as the residence of Major Lynch. In 1783 Taylor & Skinner and in 1786,Wilson, both recorded Oatfield as a property of the Brabazon family. By 1906 it was the property of Edward Longworth. The original house is not extant at the site now. Photo of Oatfield
Northbrook Cottage Lewis records Northbrook as the seat of J. North in 1837. The Ordnance Survey Name books note Major Warburton as the proprietor of the townland. The First Edition Ordnance map shows Northbrook Cottage. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, a house in progress in the townland was being leased by Joseph Denham from James McBride and was valued at £3 10s. This house is labelled Northbrook House on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. It is now a ruin. Photo of Northbrook Cottage
Liskelly The property at Liskelly, valued at £14, was being leased by John E. Maher to John Ryan Jun. at the time of Griffith's Valuation in 1855. In 1814 Liskelly was recorded as the residence of Francis Kelly. The house is still extant and occupied. Photo of Liskelly
Caher Lewis records Caher as the seat of J. Dillon in 1837. The house at Caher, with a demesne, the property of James Dillon, were offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates court in July 1854.

Norman Ashe was leasing a property valued at £11 from Dudley Persse at Glennavaddoge, parish of Kilcloony, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, which appears to be the same property. A house still exists as the site.

Henry Gascoyne was leasing a house valued at £36 from the Clancarty estate at Mackney, parish of Kilcloony, barony of Clonmacnowen, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. A second house in this townland, valued at £11, was leased to Thomas Gill. This may have been the property described on the 6-inch OS Map as Mackney Cottage.
Perssepark At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Persse was leasing a house valued at £10 from Dudley Persse at Perssepark, parish of Kilcloony, barony of Clonmacnowen. Earlier, in 1837, Lewis recorded Perssepark as the residence of S. Masters. Now the site of modern industrial development.
Coololla/Coololah At the time of Griffith's Valuation, George Crowe was leasing a property valued at almost £5 from the Handy estate at Coololla, barony of Kilconnell.
