In 1906 a house in this townland is recorded as the property of the representatives of Grace Niddrie.

The Ordnance Survey Field Name Books refer to Castle Lodge as "a handsome cottage in good repair". The house was burned during the Civil War but subsequently repaired. It is still extant but in disrepair.
Highpark House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Dowdican was leasing property from the Webber estate in the parish of Skreen including a house valued at £2 at Carrowgilhooly.

Ardnaglass	Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Ardnaglass as the seat of Mr. Jones, "half a mile beyond the ruins of a castle". The castle he refers to is Ardnaglass Castle, also associated with the Jones family. Earlier, in 1739, Reverend William Henry mentions Ardnaglass as the seat of Loftus Jones. By the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was part of the Webber estate, leased by William Graham. He was occupying a property valued at £4. The castle ruins are still extant.
Grangemore (Tireragh)	In 1786 Wilson refers to Grange as the seat of Mr. Jones. It is possible that he is referring to the house then at Grangemore, in the parish of Templeboy. By the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was part of the estate of William Phibbs and the house, occupied by Thomas McKinn, was valued at £3. McTernan writes that in the mid-17th century, this property was known as Curhow and was owned by Theophilus Jones. It was subsequently sublet to the Wood family and purchased by Phibbs from the Cooper of Coopershill estate in the 1790s.
