House name Description
Ashfield House The house at Ashfield seems to have been known as Clooneene, particularly when it was the home of the Blake Forster family. In 1814 it was the home of Francis Blake Forster but by 1837 Lewis records it as in the ownership of D. McNevin. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson wrote that it was the seat of Mr. Forster. Ashfield House is demolished but substantial parts of the walled garden and the gate lodge are still extant. Photo of Ashfield House
Ballygeagin House In 1837 Lewis lists Ballygaggen as a residence of the Butler family. Timothy Killeen was renting the house in the townland of Ballygaagin, barony of Kiltartan, from Robert J. Lattey in 1855 when it was valued at £10. Though buildings still exist at the site the original house is not extant.
Cregg House The house at Cregg seems to have been built by Francis Butler in the 18th century. Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Butler in 1786. In 1814 it was the residence of Walter Butler and Lewis also records it as a Butler house. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Robert J. Lattey and was valued at £25. This also included the premises known as Cregg Cottage which was located in the demesne. In 1906 it was owned by Robert Thomas Lattey and was valued at £33. The original house is no longer extant.

Rosepark House Tradition suggests that Francis Blake Forster let Clooneene (Ashfield) and built a house which he called Rosepark, after his wife, Rose Ffrench. Rosepark House is recorded by Lewis in 1837 as the seat of the Hugo family. It was leased by Michael Kane to George Crowe at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was then valued at £12. Apart from some estate walls there is no evidence of this property now.
Castle Lodge/Fiddane House At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property at Fiddaun was occupied by Edward Blacquiere and was valued at £10. Castle Lodge is recorded as the home of Charles Lopdell in 1814. In 1837 Lewis also recorded it as a seat of the Lopdell family. It is labelled Castle Lodge on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Fiddane House on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Castle Lodge/Fiddane House
Rosemeade/Lisheen At the time of Griffith's Valuation this property was leased by Matthew Rosengrave to Patrick Carrick and valued at £21. It was accompanied by over 200 acres. In 1814 Lisheen was the seat of Jer. Rosingrave. The house is labelled on both the first and 25-inch editions of the Ordnance Survey map as Rosemeade but today is known as Lisheen. It is still extant and occupied as a farm house. Photo of Rosemeade/Lisheen
