House name	Description
Alderford	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Alderford was leased by the representatives of William F. McDermottroe to Catherine Thompson and was valued at £25. In 1814 it was the seat of Thomas McDermottroe. Lewis also records it as the seat of the latter in 1837. Alderford is famous for its associations with Turlough O'Carolan, the Irish harper, as he died there in 1738 and is buried nearby in Kilronan. This house, however, was built in the early 19th century. It was the seat of Thomas Charles McDermottroe in 1894. It is still extant but in a dilapidated condition.
Kilronan Castle/Castle Tennison	The house presently occupying this site was constructed in the later 19th replacing an earlier house which had been built c.1820. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house had been valued at £70 and was occupied by Edward King Tenison. In 1814 it was the seat of Thomas Tennison and is recorded by Lewis as the seat of Col. Tenison. In 1894 Slater referred to it as a residence of the Earl of Kingston. The building is still extant and in 2006-7 was converted into a luxury hotel.

Greyfield	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Greyfield, barony of Boyle, was leased by Robert O'Donnell from the O'Reilly estate. It was valued at £10. Lewis also records Greyfield as the seat of the O'Donnell family in 1837. The original house is no longer extant.
Lyonstown	At the time of the first Ordnance Survey a large ruin, said to have been the residence of the Lyons family, was in the possession of the O'Donnell of Greyfield estate.
