House name	Description
Annagh Lodge	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Thomas Whitney was leasing a house valued at £12 to Edward Frazer, at Aughnacloy, barony of Tirerrill. In 2006 Annagh Lodge was offered for sale by Raymond Potterton estate agents, in county Meath. The house details claim that Annagh Lodge was built by the Frazer family (from Scotland), around 1800. McTernan, however, notes that the house was reputedly built by a landlord named Hewitson.
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.

Riversdale House	John R. French was leasing a house valued at £25 at Kilateasheen from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at the time of Griffith's Valuation. There is no substantial house marked on the 1st edition OS map. This house is still extant and known as Riversdale House.
Knockranny	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Knockranny House was leased by Joseph Bennett Little from the Tenison estate and was valued at £25. Lewis recorded the house as the seat of the Dodwell family. Knockranny is still extant but derelict.
