Woodville	Hawthorn Cottage is named on the first edition OS map and on the 25 inch map as Woodville. ‘The Cottage’ was the seat of William Cooke in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the building was valued at £16 and held from Lord Castlemaine. O’Brien writes that the Bourke family were in possession in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house was demolished post 1950. The site is now among state and industrial buildings located on the east side of Athlone.
Retreat	Retreat was a two-storey, three bay late 18th century house built by Thomas Cooke and located close to the east side of Athlone town. It was occupied by General Hart in 1814, F E Moony in 1837 and by Major Owen Lloyd Ormsby at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), who held the property valued at £20 from William Cooke. Later occupants of this house were the Costello, Kilduff and Young families. The house and lands were sold to the Athlone Urban District Council in 1998 and the house demolished.
Ballyorney House	Ballyorney House is labelled on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, the house at this site was leased by John Boswell from Thomas Dennehy’s estate and was valued at £4. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house at the site now was built in the 1880s. It is extant but derelict.
