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.
Ardagh	Martin Lawlor was in possession of a property valued at £11 5s at Ardagh, at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. There is no house marked on the 1st edition OS map, the Lakeview Hotel appears to have occupied the site in 1895.

The site of Ballycasheen House is now occupied by commercial buildings while The Heights hotel occupies the site of Courteene Hall.

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.

Bary states that the house was probably built in the earlier 18th century though it may have been renovated in 1810, probably by the Leahys, in whose family it remained until the end of the 19th century. The Irish Tourist Association survey in the early 1940s reported that it was the private residence of Mr.R. Hilliard. It is now a luxury guest house. See www.coolclogherhouse.com.

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.

It was built in the early decades of the 19th century and continued in the Coltsmann family and their descendents until the early 20th century when it was sold to Major John McGillycuddy. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that "its tall fantastic turrets dominate the countryside". It was then in the possession of Anthony McGillycuddy. It had become ruinous by the end of the 20th century although there were some indications that it might be restored.
