House name	Description
Summerhill (Mount Meredith)	In 1786 Wilson refers to Mount Meredith as a gentleman's seat close to Killarney. Bary writes that this is the property that later became known as Summerhill, held by The O’Donoghue. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note that this townland was leased by St. John Mason to Richard McGillycuddy and Madam O'Donoghue in the 1830s. The house is described as "formerly a handsome house but is now suffering to go to ruin". At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was valued at £3 and leased to James Donovan. A substantial modern farm exists at the site now.
Coolgarriv House	James Donovan, MD, was leasing Coolgarriv House from The McGillycuddy’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £12 10s. Bary, quoting the Ordnance Survey Name Books, states that Coolgarriv House was built by the Eager family in the 1830s at a cost of £900. It is still extant and occupied.
Caherdean House	Charles Daly was leasing Caherdean House from Henry Herbert at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £11 10s. Bary suggests that the Lawlors may have had connections with Caherdean House around 1800 but later in the 19th century the Herberts were the landlords. The house is still extant and part of a large farm. .
Dooneen Cottage (Upper Park Cottage)	This property on the Earl of Kenmare’s estate was valued at £7 10s at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1786 Wilson refers to Dooneen as the seat of Rev. Dr. Bland. Bary states that it had been built in the 18th century and was one of the chief farm properties on the estate. It is labelled Upper Park Cottage on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Part of the original building appears to be still extant. In the same townland is Wood Park Cottage [V985934], also a farm on the Earl of Kenmare’s estate. It is still extant.
Killeen House	Denis Leary was leasing a house valued at £7 10s from the Earl of Kenmare’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. A farm is still extant at this site.
Mount Prospect	Walter Murphy, MD, is noted as the lessor of a property at Ballynamaunagh, Kilcummin at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £16. The townland was part of Lord Kenmare’s estate. Bary states that the house may have built by the Murphy family in the late 18th century. No trace exists of it in the area now.
Nunstown	Robert Leeson was leasing a property valued at £5 to Michael Barrett at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. A substantial farm still exists at the site.
Ballyhar House	In 1786 Wilson refers to Ballyhar, the residence of Mr. Eager. John Leahy was in possession of this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £17. Bary states that this house was originally built by the Eager family but later sold to the Leahys. It is now a ruin.
