Blake's Lodge Built prior to 1838, this house may have been a sporting lodge or steward's house of the Blakes. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland of over 100 acres was owned by Patrick Blake but no buildings are recorded. It is not labelled on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s and Robinson writes that only the orchard walls remain.
Cashel House Built before 1838, this house was the residence of the Blakes of 'Tully' and was occupied by James Blake, nephew and agent, to his uncle Patrick Blake in the mid 19th century. Arthur Blake, succeeded his father at Cashel and lived there until about the 1870s. The Blakes were very unpopular landlords and the house is now in ruins.
