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.

Wood of Rathellen had possession and the house was let to a succession of tenants. It was sold in the Encumbered Estates court in 1853 when the purchaser was Henry Lyons.

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.
