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.
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.
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.
