House name	Description
Lissadell or Lissadill	The Gore Booth family built the first Lissadell House between 1750-1760, in front of the current house. The current house was built in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century and continued to be the home of the Gore Booth family until the 1990s. In 1906 the house and buildings were valued at £347. The house has been open to the public for many years. It is now owned by E. Walsh and C. Cassidy and is being restored. See www.lissadellhouse.com.
Finned House	In 1906 Sir Jocelyn Gore Booth owned buildings valued at £8 at Finned, barony of Carbury. This is likely to be Finned House. This townland was the property of the Gore Booth estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation but the highest building valuation at that time was only £2.
Elsinore	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Edward Cooper owned a property at Rosses Upper, barony of Carbury, valued at £16. In 1906 the representatives of William Middleton held a property here valued at £18 as well as over 350 acres of untenanted land. The property also has associations with W.B. Yeats who used to spend holidays here with the Middleton family. The house is now a ruin.
Cregg House	Michael Jones, formerly of Lisgoole, county Fermanagh, is described as of Cregg House in 1854. His representatives still held the property in the 1870s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Capt. Alex Lumsden, son-in-law of Michael Jones, leasing from John Wynne, when it was valued at £25. Cregg House afterwards came into the possession of the Sisters of La Sagesse and is now a Special Needs facility.
Rahelly	Francis Barber was leasing a house at Rahelly, barony of Carbury, from the Gore Booth estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £25. Rahelly later fell into ruin but has been restored and offered for sale in recent times.
Mount Edward Cottage	Both the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books and Griffith's Valuation record a property at Mount Edward as belonging to Capt. James Jones. It had a valuation of £2 in the 1850s. This would appear to be the property named as Mount Edward Cottage on the 1st edition OS map. McTernan states that it was occupied by the Hood family from the mid-nineteenth century until the 1980s. It is now in a dilapidated state.
Oxfield	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Oxfield House was the caretaker's residence for the plantation of over 150 acres owned by the Gore Booth estate at Cullaghmore, barony of Carbury.
Moorfield Cottage	Jeremiah Rogers, a steward on the Gore-Booth estate, was occupying this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £5 10s. McTernan states that it remained in the Rogers family until the early decades of the twentieth century. It is still extant and occupied.
Urlar or Beckfield	Leased by William Hamilton,MD, from the Gore-Booth estate at the time of Griffith's Valuaiton when it was valued at over £10. McTernan notes that it was previously held by the Munns family and later in the nineteenth century by George Somerville. Labeled as Beckfield on the First Edition Ordnance Survey Map. It is still extant and undergoing restoration.
