Cargins Park The home of the Kelly family from the mid 18th century. Wilson refers to "Cargans, the seat of the late Daniel Kelly" in 1786. It was occupied by John D'Arcy when the estate was sold in 1852. A Victorian three bay house was the home of Daniel Kelly. Sold to Captain Drought in the mid 19th century, held by him in fee and valued at £15. The present house is not the same as Kelly's Victorian one. Renovated in the early 21st century.
Foxborough In 1786 Wilson refers to Foxborough as the seat of Arthur French. Occupied by Patrick Taaffe at the time of Griffith's Valuation, who was leasing from Christopher French. The house was then valued at £20. It is now a ruin though the stable yard survives.
Ardkeenagh House Michael Plunkett was farming at Ardkeenagh in 1749. In 1814 it was the home of Nicholas Peyton and of Mrs Hawkes in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was vacant but the surrounding lands were held by Patrick Moran from James Somerville. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Bloomfield In the possession of John Farrell in 1814 and of H. O'Farrell medical doctor in 1837. In the mid 19th century held by the Reverend Peter Toler in fee and valued at £10. Toler appears to have purchased Bloomfield from the sale of the Cargins Park estate by the trustees of Daniel Kelly.

Mount Browne At the time of Griffith's Valuation occupied by George Browne who held the property from James G.Plunkett, valued at £25.

Occupied by the representatives of Arthur Browne in 1894 and 1906.
Toomona The home of Michael Connor, a gentleman in 1749, just outside Tulsk. The residence of Michael's grandson Peter O'Connor in 1814 and 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Toomona was valued at £10 and was occupied by Maria French who held it from Lord Crofton. Later occupants included Colonel Lynham, Matt Flanagan, the Murphy and Fallon families. Accidently burnt in the 1970s.

Later it was the home of Malachy Madden in 1814 and of Catherine O'Conor Don's nephew Robert Nolan and his family in the 1830s. No demesne is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was valued at £5 and was held by Robert Nolan in fee. A house still exists at the site.

In 1786 Wilson refers to Grange as the seat of Gilbert Ormsby. It is labelled Grange House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. The townland was part of the Farrell estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. There is still a house extant at this site.
