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.
Streedagh	It is likely that Thomas Jones built a house at Streedagh c 1725. However, the present house dates from the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1906 it was the property of Richard W. Jones and was valued at £18. It is still extant and occupied.
Moneygold	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Moneygold was leased by the Fawcett family from Viscount Palmerston's estate and was valued at £13. Lewis records it as the residence of the Soden family in 1837. McTernan notes that it was the seat of the family from the early eighteenth century when James Soden leased almost 1000 acres from the Temple estate. In 1906 it was the property of Major G.M. Eccles whose mother was Isabella Soden. The house was damaged in a storm in the early 1960s and subsequently demolished.
Mount Temple	Viscount Palmerston was leasing a property valued at £3 15s to Edward Parke in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is estimated that the house now at Mount Temple was built c.1860. McTernan notes that the property was originally part of the Soden estate but was leased to the Parkes in the 1830s. They were to continue in occupation until the 1940s after which Mount Temple was acquired by the Land Commission. The house is still extant but derelict.
Ardtermon Castle	Ardtermon was the first property held by the Gore family before the building of Lissadell. McTernan notes that it was granted to Sir Francis Gore and had previously been the property of the O'Hart family. The Gore Booth family moved to Lissadell in the mid eighteenth century. Since 1979 it has been the home of the Schiller family who have restored it to its former glory from total ruin. See www.ardtarmoncastle.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.
Ballygilgan Gate Lodge	In 1906 Sir Jocelyn Gore Booth held over 800 acres of untenanted land at Ballygilgan as well as a house valued at almost £9.
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.
Millbrook House(Drumcliff)	Edward Simpson was leasing a house, mill and associated buildings at Ballincar, barony of Carbury valued at £16 from the Wynne estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He offered the property for sale in the Landed Estate's Court in April 1873. The sale notice indicates that he held it on a Fee Farm Grant from Owen Wynne dated 1868. The original house is no longer extant.
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.
Springfield	The Phibbs estate owned several houses as well as the townland of Springfield or Magheralgillerneeve, barony of Carbury at the time of Griffith's Valuation. One house, valued at £12, was being leased by John Mullan.
Tully House (Carbury)	Charles Simpson was leasing a house valued at £6 at Tully, barony of Carbury, from the Wynne estate, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. A house is still extant at the site.

This house was leased to Charles Allen at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 10s. The house had a succession of owners in the twentieth century and is still extant and occupied.
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.

Raghly Lodge	Raghly Lodge was held in fee by Charles Gore Jones at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £10 10s. In 1894 it was also noted as his residence by Slater.
