House name	Description
Ardtully House	Richard J.T. Orpen was leasing Ardtully House from John Croker at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £23 5s. In 1814 Leet records it as the seat of Richard O. Townsend while Lewis, in 1837 mentions Ardtully as "the ancient mansion of Richard Orpen Townsend". It was also the seat of the Orpen family in the 1770s and 1780s. Bary states that this property included an earlier castle, which was originally part of the McFineen McCarthy lands forfeited in the seventeenth century. It was granted by the Hollow Blade Company to the Conways but, later in the eighteenth century, the Orpens were occupying the house, subsequently replaced in the nineteenth century. Recorded, perhaps mistakenly, as the seat of R.H.M. Orpen and Sir. R.J.T Orpenm in 1894, in 1906 it was owned by Richard H.M. Orpen and valued at £40. The Scottish-baronial style house was burnt in 1921 but the ruins remain.
Cloontoo	Adrian Taylor was leasing a property valued at £15 15s from John Croker at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lewis notes it as the seat of R.E. Orpen in 1837. In 1814 Leet records the house as the seat of Edward Orpen. In 1851 the property was included in the sale of the Croker estate in the Encumbered Estates Court when Adrian Taylor was the occupier. It remained a residence of the Taylor family until the 1950s. Cloontoo is still extant and occupied.
Bridgeville Park	Richard Orpen was leasing this property to Henry Orpen at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £7 15s. Capt. H. Orpen was recorded by Lewis in this property in 1837. In 1814, Leet mentions it as the seat of Henry Orpen. It is described as "in ruins" on the 1895 map.
Kilfadda More	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Daniel McCarthy was leasing this property to Patrick Kelleher, when it was valued at £2 10a. Lewis records it as the seat of D.McCarthy in 1837 and Leet noted it as the address of Timothy McCarthy in 1814. The Irish Tourist Association survey in 1943 recorded the story that the patriots Michael Doheny and James Stephens were hidden here while "on the run" in 1848, when Kilfadda More was "a thatched cottage occupied by Dick McCarthy". Bary states that it was associated with the McCarthy family for many years. It is still extant and occupied.
