House name	Description
Longford House	Longford House was built in the mid-18th century but was destroyed in a fire in the early 19th century,c1816. It is this house to which Wilson refers as the seat of Mr. Crofton in 1786. Another house was built adjacent to the original. McTernan notes that this house also suffered fire damage in both 1840 and again in 1916. At the time of Griffith's Valuation a house at Longford Demesne was valued at £13 and was the property of Sir Malby Crofton. In 1906 this was the property of Sir Malby Crofton and was valued at £30. The later Longford House is still extant and occupied. The original is an impressive ruin.
Toberpatrick (Skreen)	Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to "Tubberpatrick" as the seat of Captain Jones. In 1837 Lewis recorded Tubberpatrick House as a seat of the Jones family. At the time of the estate sale in the Encumbered Estates court in April 1852, the house at Tubberpatrick was described as "a dwelling house fit for the reception of a gentleman, with offices and garden on the demesne". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the property of Peter O'Connor and was valued at £15. Toberpatrick House is still extant and occupied. In 2008 it was offered for sale through Knight Frank estate agents [Irish Times, 13 March 2008].
Leekfield	Leekfield was originally a Wood property which came into the Webb family through the marriage of Sarah Wood to Daniel Webb Webber. It is recorded as his residence in 1814. McTernan notes that the Webber estate, including Leekfield House and demesne lands, was offered for sale by Charles Tankerville Webber in the 1890s. Leekfield was acquired by Michael Higgins, who had been the agent for the Webber estate. It was demolished in the 1960s.
Corkhill House	Sir Malby Crofton is recorded as the lessor of two properties in the parish of Templeboy at the time of Griffith's Valuation. One property is noted as a herd's house, valued at £1 while the second, valued at £1 5s, was leased to Thomas Fury. McTernan notes that in the eighteenth century this house had been leased from the Crofton estate by the Wood family. It eventually fell into disrepair and was demolished.
Ballygreighen	In 1906 Henry E. King owned over 350 acres of untenanted land and buildings valued at £10, at Ballygreighen, barony of Tireragh. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Andrew Finnegan was leasing a property valued at £8 from the King estate at Ballygreighen. The original buildings is no longer extant.
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. This may be the property named as Highpark House both on the First and 25-inch editions Ordnance Survey Maps. There is still a house extant on the site.
Fort Laurel	Patrick and Hugh Maguire were leasing over 60 acres from the Palmer estate at Ardogelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Fort Laurel House was later built at this property. It was renovated in the late twentieth century and is now a family home.
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.
