House name	Description
Killaha Castle or Killaha House	The original property at Killaha was Killaha Castle, the hereditary seat of the O’Donoghue of the Glens. The family had moved to Killarney by the 19th century. Lewis records that Killaha House was then the seat of J. McCarthy. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, John McCarthy was leasing the house to Frederick Millbourne, MD, when it was valued at £16 10s. Bary indicates that it was subsequently rented by the Orpen family and later, possibly in the 1890s, given to the Catholic church by R.M. Leeson Marshall who was descended from the O’Donoghues of Killaha. It afterwards served as the presbytery for the local parish.
Headfort	The McCarthies had owned a house at Headfort since the 17th century but by the 19th century it was in reduced circumstances. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention it as the residence of Morris McCarty. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Daniel McCarthy was leasing the property to Francis Mayberry when it was valued at £3. In 1906 it was the property of Daniel McCartie and valued at £6 5s.

It later passed to the Orpen family through marriage and may have been resided in by their agent. The original house was demolished in 1985. There are modern buildings on the site including holiday cottages.
