House name	Description
Derrynane Abbey	Maurice O’Connell was leasing the property at Darrynane More from the Earl of Cork’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £40. Lewis records it as the seat of Daniel O’Connell, MP. In 1814 Leet notes it as the seat of Maurice O'Connell. in 1906 it was owned by Daniel O'Connell and valued at £35 15s. The Irish Tourist Association Survey gives a detailed description of what it refers to as "the relics of the Liberator" which were kept in the house in the early 1940s. At that time the occupant was Miss Fanny O'Connell, great-grand-daughter of Daniel O'Connell. Bary states that the present house is an extended wing of the original house, built in the mid-18th century, most of which is now gone. The property is now in the care of the Office of Public Works and open to the public during the summer.
Derryquin Castle	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation James F. Bland was leasing a property valued at £29 at Derryquin, from the Guinness estate. Lewis, in 1837, and Leet, in 1814, record the house as the seat of Francis C. Bland . The property was eventually sold by the Blands to the Warden family. In 1906 it was owned by Col. Charles W. Warden and valued at £70. The Wardens resided there until it was burnt in 1922. It was located in the grounds of what is now the Parknasilla Hotel but the ruins were demolished in 1969. See www.parknasillahotel.ie for e-book on the history of this property.
Hollywood	Frederick Hyde was leasing a house valued at almost £10 from the Bland estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis records Hollywood as the seat of the Hyde family in 1837. Frederick Hyde was married to Elizabeth Bland. Bary states that the house was built in the 1830s, possibly on the site of an older house. It was occupied by the Bland family after they sold Derryquin but later fell into disrepair and is now a ruin.
Parknasilla	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £10 to Christopher Bland at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Bary states that some historians believe this to be the original Bland house in the area. In the mid 19th century it became known as the Bishop’s House as it was leased by the Bland estate to Bishop Graves of Limerick. Later still it became the forerunner of the Parknasilla hotel, in which grounds it is still located. A second house in the townland is labelled Clashnacree House [V721649] on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. In 1894 Slater records this latter house as the seat of J.F. Fuller. It is still extant.
Drimna House	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £7 to Rev. Arthur Watson at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1906 Col. Charles W. Warden owned a property at Drimnamore, valued at £3 10s. It is still extant.
Scart	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £10 15s to William Jermyn at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Bary states that Scart house was occupied for several generations of the Jermyn family before being sold in the 1890s. It is still extant and occupied.
Castle Cove	Thomas Jermyn was leasing a house valued at £10 10s to John Jermyn at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis describes Castle Cove as the seat of Mr. O'Sullivan in 1837 though he may have been referring to West Cove House. Leet, in 1814, mentions "Cooe Castle" as the seat of David Jermyn, Bary notes that Castle Cove was in the possession of the Jermyn family in the nineteenth century. They were agents for the Bland estate. It is no longer extant.
Liss Cottage	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £5 to David Jermyn at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. This appears to be Liss Cottage, which Bary states was a residence of the Jermyn family for a long time. There is still a house at this site though it may have been altered.
Waterville	Caleb Chute was leasing a property valued at £18 to James Butler at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Both Lewis, in 1837, and Leet in 1814, noted Waterville as the residence of James Butler .The Ordnance Survey Name Books described it as " two stories high and in good repair" in 1840. Bary indicates that the house was built by the Butler family in the late eighteenth century and they resided there until 1965. It is now a luxury guesthouse with a golf links nearby.
Kineigh	Thomas Stoughton was leasing this property, valued at £10 15s, to John Fitzgerald at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1840, the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books indicated that it was the residence of Rev. George Hickson but had been built by John Hayes at the end of the eighteenth century. It seems to have become a Fitzgerald property later on. In 1894 Slater referred to it as the seat of John Francis Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald family continued to reside there until the 1930s. The house is still extant. Adjacent to Kineigh House a site labelled "Donnall O'Sulivan's House (site of)" appears on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps.
Rossdohan	In 1906, Samuel T. Heard, MD, owned this property at Rossdohan, barony of Dunkerron South, when it was valued at £27. Bary states that this house was built in 1875 by Thomas Heard, a surgeon who had retired from India. He died in the early 1920s and the house was burned around that time. There are remains of a later house still visible on the island.
Clodragh or Derriana Lodge	Part of the Mahony estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was held in fee by Daniel Mahony and valued at almost £2. Bought by the Williams family in the late 1850s following the sale of the Mahony estate, the lodge seems to have become known as Derriana Lodge by the end of the nineteenth century. There are still buildings at this site.
Oak Lodge (Bear)	Leased by Robert Puxley from John L. Puxley at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6. In 1906 it was the property of Henry L. Puxley and valued at almost £9. There is still an occupied house at the site.
