House name	Description
Muckross House (Muckross Abbey)	McCoole states that the Herberts had a house on the Muckross peninsula since at least the early 18th century, on lands leased from the MacCarthaigh Mor family. A new house was constructed in the 1770s. In 1837 Lewis described Muckross as "situated in a demesne of enchanting beauty". The present Muckross House, was built between 1839-43. At the time of Griffith’s valuation it was valued at £129. It continued to be owned by the Herbert family until the 1890s, when, the family fortunes having declined, it was sold by the Standard Life Assurance Company, and purchased by Lord Ardilaun. He was the owner in 1906 when it was valued at £130. In 1910 it was sold to an American family, Bowers Bourn who in turn gave it to their daughter and son-in-law, Maud and Arthur Vincent. It was presented to the nation in 1932 and now forms the centre of the Killarney National Park.
Grenagh House	Denis Lawlor was leasing Grenagh House from Henry Herbert’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £23 15s. Lewis mentions Grena as the seat of John O’Connell in 1837. The Ordnance Survey Name Books indicate that it was built by Mrs. Delaney in 1792. Bary states that O’Connell was obliged to leave the house due to debts. It then came into the possession of Denis Shine Lawlor and later again, Daniel James. It was afterwards the property of the O'Connor family but has been ruinous since the mid twentieth century.
Looscaunagh	Henry Herbert was leasing a property valued at almost £4, along with over 400 acres, to Daniel McCarthy at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. It is no longer extant.
Torc Cottage	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Henry Herbert was leasing a property at Torc, valued at £39, to Sir Thomas Herbert. Lewis refers to it as the residence of Capt. Herbert in 1837 while Leet mentions it as the seat of Charles Herbert in 1814. In 1906 it was part of the Guinness estate and valued at £11 10s. Bary states that Torc Cottage was a handsome property surrounded by plantations. McCoole claims that Henry Arthur Herbert had built Torc Cottage for his mistress. The building is no longer extant.
Lakeview	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, James O’Connell was leasing the property from the Herbert estate when it was valued at £13. Lewis calls the house Lakeville in 1837. Leet also mentions a house called Lakeville in 1814 which he refers to as the residence of Francis Russell. Bary states that the existing house was built by James O’Connell in 1870 after he was made a Baronet but that there was an earlier house here also. The latter is mentioned as the residence of Mr. O'Connell in the Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s. It was built in 1740 and located in the southern end of the townland. In 1894 Slater refers to Lakeview as the residence of Sir Maurice J. O'Connell. The house is still extant.
Belview House	Arthur Mahony was leasing a property valued at almost £4 from the Kenmare estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1906 it was part of the Kenmare estate and valued at £5 5s. Bary states that this house, very close to the lake shore, was built by James Mahony, of the Dunloe Castle family, in the latter half of the 18th century. In the 1930s, it was still part of the Kenmare estate and Lord Castlerosse supervised the building of Killarney Golf Club here. The original house was demolished to make room for a new clubhouse.
Glena Cottage	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, the Kenmare estate held properties described as cottages, valued at £16. Horgan indicates that these cottages were built on the estate to cater for tourist visitors. Lewis, in 1837, mentions the elegant cottage of Lady Kenmare, at a short distance from which a banqueting house had been erected by Lord Kenmare for the entertainment of visitors. In 1906 the property at Glena was valued at £16 15s. Bary states that Glena Cottage was burnt in 1922.
Ross Cottage	The Earl of Kenmare’s estate included a forester’s house on Ross Island, marked on the 1st edition OS map as Ross Cottage. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was valued at £7 5s. In 1906 it was still part of the Kenmare estate and with the same valuation. The building is now in ruins.
Cullenagh House	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Cullenagh House was occupied by Kean Mahony when it was valued at £22. Lewis records it as the seat of Kean Mahony in 1837 as does Leet in 1814. In 1906 it was the property of Thomas McDonagh Mahony and valued at £18. Bary states that this house was probably built by the Mahonys towards the end of the 18th century. It was still extant but uninhabited towards the end of the twentieth century.
Cullenagh Lower	Myles Mahony was occupying a house at Cullenagh Lwr at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. It was valued at £6 and part of a holding of 176 acres. The house is not shown on thre 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Dunloe Castle	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Daniel Mahony was leasing Dunloe Castle from Thomas H. Broderick when it was valued at £15. Lewis describes it as formerly the seat of the O’Sullivan family but in 1837 the residence of D. Mahony. Leet refers to it as the residence of Daniel Mahony in 1814. Wilson, writing in 1786, mentions Dunloe Castle as the seat of Gustavus Crosbie. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of John Mahony. The Irish Tourist Association surveyor notes that this property has associations with the United Irishmen and states that, in the early 1940s, it was owned by Agnes Petitt. Bary states that it remained in the Mahony family until the mid-20th century. The castle itself is now a ruin, located in the grounds of the Dunloe Castle Hotel.
Tomies	In 1837 Lewis mentions Tomies as the seat of D.J. O'Sullivan. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the property, valued at £5, was being leased by Daniel O'Sullivan from the Herbert estate. Bary states that this house was more usually associated with the O'Donoghue estate, citing references to "O'Donoghue of Tomies" in the local press. In 1906 Lord Ardilaun owned the property at Tomies East valued at £8 15s. It is now in ruins.
