House name	Description
Castletown	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Fenton was leasing the house at Castletown to George Fenton when it was valued at £10. In 1906 the property at Castletown was owned by Thomas G. Fenton and was valued at £11. It is no longer extant though traces of walls, stable yard and gate lodges are all still visible.
Fortland	Wilson, writing in 1786 refers to "Fortland, pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Easky" as the seat of Mr. Browne. It later passed to the Jones estate. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis in 1837 record it as a Jones property. In the mid nineteenth century it was bought by Richard Graves Brinkley who was leasing it to John Wingfield King at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £14. It was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in 1874 when it was occupied by Mrs. Charlotte Lloyd, presumably a relative of Richard Brinkley's wife, Hester Lloyd. In 1906 it was the property of John L. Brinkley and was valued at £39. McTernan notes that the house was afterwards damaged by fire and partially demolished. Various buildings, including substantial remains of an estate farmyard, survive at this site.
Temple View	The house now known as Temple View was built in the later 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation there was a building at this location owned by Peter Hale and leased to George Fenton. In 1906 Temple View was the property of James Hale and was valued at £32 as well as other buildings in the townland. McTernan states that it had a succession of owners through the twentieth century but has been vacant for long periods. In 2005 it was derelict and for sale.
Oghil	Oghil house is recorded in the OS Name Books as being built in the 1740s, though McTernan states that the existing house dates from the late 1830s. At both the time of Griffith's Valuation and in 1906 it was the property of Robert W. Armstrong and was valued at £17. It later served as the parochial house but is now a family home again.

Dromore	At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house at Dromore was the property of John Fenton and was valued at £15. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis in 1837 also record it as a residence of the Fenton family. In 1864 Thomas Fenton offered it for sale in the Landed Estates Court. The house was occupied at the time by Jas. McMunn, MD. In 1906 the house at Dromore was valued at £16 and was the property of William Browne Loughead.
Bunowna	In 1906 John L. Brinkley was the owner of a property at Bunowna, barony of Tireragh, valued at £7. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James McMunn, MD, had been leasing this property from the Brinkley estate, when it was valued at £8. The property is labelled Bridge House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. It is still extant.
Cooga Lodge	The house at Cooga was valued at £26 in 1906 and was the property of John Howley.At the time of Griffith's Valuation Patrick Howley had a steward's house here, valued at £4, together with 300 acres. [Grid Reference is approximate]. Local folklore suggests it afterwards became the residence of the local priest.
Cuffe House or Camcuil	Camcuill townland was part of Peter Niddrie's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house with highest value was that of Edward Larrinan, leasing a property valued at £3 from Peter Niddrie. McTernan states that the house had originally belonged to the Brownes and later the Jones family of Fortland. In 1874 the sale notice referring to the Niddrie estate mentions Camcuill as "a comfortable dwelling house with extensive offices, recently erected". In 1906 a house in this townland is recorded as the property of the representatives of Grace Niddrie.
Knockaculleen A	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Rutledge was leasing a house valued at almost £10 at Knockaculleen, barony of Tireragh, to Catherine Rutledge. [Grid reference is approximate].
Seafield	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, this property was held in fee by Robert McMunn. It consisted of a herd's house, valued at 10s and 75 acres. Later, as Seafield House, it was the residence of James McMunn,MD. In 1906 James McMunn, M.D. is recorded as the occupier of property at Killeenduff townland, barony of Tireragh, including a mansion house. Seafield was derelict for some time but has recently been restored.
Finned (Tireragh)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, George Beatty (or Beattie) was leasing a house valued at £5 and almost 100 acres from the Tottenham estate. McTernan states that he was referred to at the time of the Ordnance Survey as a "middleman for a large amount of property". Later the house passed by marriage to the Boyd family who sold it in the early twentieth century. It is still extant and has been renovated.
