House name	Description
Clooskirt	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Mrs. Ormsby Gore was leasing this property to William Wilson. It was then valued at £12. At the same time Ruttledge Burrowes was leasing a property valued at £4 with over 140 acres of land from the Ormsby Gore estate. Johnston states that a "model farm" was established here in the later nineteenth century. This townland is mentioned as Clooshire, in 1906, when George Ormsby Gore was the owner of the property but there is no valuation given for buildings at that time. It was subsequently lived in by the St. Lawrence family.
Rockbrook	Rockbrook was originally a Phibbs property. It later came into the possession of Abraham Martin of Cleveragh who leased it to the Cogan family and later to the Lougheed estate. It was occupied by John Lougheed at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. Johnston states that the estate was divided by the Land Commission in the 1920s and that the house was sold by Mrs. Lougheed in 1938. It burnt down in 1945 and only the ruins remain today.
Castle Neynoe/Ballysumaghan House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard B. Neynoe was leasing property at Ballysumaghan, barony of Tirerrill, to Henry Griffith, when it was valued at £30.

Castle Neynoe was a ruin for many years but began to be restored in 2007.

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.

In 1814 it was the seat of Thomas McDermottroe. Lewis also records it as the seat of the latter in 1837.

After the purchase of the estate by the Land Commission in the 1930s the house was demolished and another house has been constructed on the site.

An earlier castle also in Belhavel is reputed to have been built by the first Montgomery to settle in the area in the seventeenth century.

McTernan indicates that the original house was of two stories but that this was later replaced by a single storey building. The Ormsby Gore estate owned 22 acres of untenanted land in Carrickcoola, barony of Tirerrill, in 1906 but the buildings are not listed. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Maj. Ormsby Gore owned the townland and was leasing a house valued at only 10s to Thomas McCloghrey together with over 130 acres.
