House name	Description
Ashbrook	An early 18th century house, it was noted by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Moore in 1786. It was occupied by Michael Costello in 1814 and described as in a dilapidated state at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to a two-storey plain featured house with the ruins of a small private chapel closeby, which apparently fell into decay in the early 19th century. Some ruins remain at the site.
Carrowgowan	From at least 1814 the house was occupied by the Deanes who held it from Colonel McAlpine, who held from John Knox of Castlereagh. The house was described as in good repair, with offices, orchard and garden. Daniel H. Mellet occupied the house at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is now demolished.
Oldcastle	Built by the McJordans of Ballylahan in the late 18th century. Slater refers to it as the seat of John Bolingbroke in 1846. There are modern buildings at the site now.
Listrisnan House	This house was described as in 'good repair' at the time of the first Ordnance Survey in the 1830s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Joseph Jordan was leasing buildings valued at £2 in the townland of Listrisnan from Myles Jordan. A building still remains at the site.
Barleyhill	In 1786 Wilson noted Barleyhill as the seat of Mr. McManus. Ruane dates the house from about 1748 with alterations in the 1770s and 1790s. He states that the house and 170 acres were occupied by George Harkin at the time of Griffith's Valuation, however the Valuation records Bernard McManus as the occupier of the house valued at £15. Quinn records that Bernard McManus had gone to live at Brownstown in 1856. The Aitken family have lived at Barleyhill for over a hundred years.
Killedan	The seat of the Taaffe family and later the home of the McManuses, a well known medical family of whom Emily McManus, Matron of Guy's Hospital, London, was a member.
Ballylahan	A property held by Pat McLaughlin from Sir William H Palmer in the early 19th century and by the Atkinsons at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Quinn writes that it was repossessed at the time of the expiration of their lease. It was a ruin by the publication of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Liscottle	Home of the Horkan family in the second half of the 19th century. It was leased by George "Harkan" from Robert Ruttledge at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £2. It is labelled Liscottle House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Liscottle is no longer extant.
