| Carhan House | Maurice O'Connell held several properties at Carhan Lower, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, including a mill, valued at £18, which he was leasing to Patrick Trant. In the 1830s, the Ordnance Survey Name Books record that the mills had been built by Messers Trant and Barry c.1828. There were two other houses, one valued at £18, leased to James Barry, MD, and the second, valued at £6, leased to Rev. John Healy. Carhan House is named on the 1st edition OS map as "in ruins". Lewis notes "Cashen" as the old mansion of the O'Connell family in 1837. In the 1830s, the Ordnance Survey Name Books describe Carhan House as "a rectangular building, having a kitchen built up to the rere, all two stories high. The walls of its ruins are standing but in a state of dilapidation". The Irish Tourist Association Survey in 1943 described the original house as "in the shape of the letter T with the kitchen apartments nearest the river". In 1814 Leet refers to one property in Carhan as the residence of James O'Connell and to a second as the address of Miles McSweeney. |

| Hillgrove | Lewis refers to Hillgrove as the residence of J. Primrose in 1837.In the 1830s, the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books described it as " a rectangular building with two wings, all two stories high and in good repair". Bary states that Hillgrove House was built by John Primrose, senior, agent to the O'Connell estate, in the early nineteenth century. It was being leased by John Primrose, (possibly son of the earlier John) to Denis Coughlan, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £19 5s.The property was offered for sale in July 1854 in the Encumbered Estates Court when David O'Connor is recorded as the tenant at Hillgrove. Primrose was also a principal lessor in the parish of Caher at this time. Hillgrove is now demolished and much modern development has taken place in the area. | |
| Bahaghs Lodge | At the time of Griffith's Valuation, a property here appears to have been leased from Charles O'Connell to the Cahersiveen Board of Guardians for use as an auxiliary workhouse. Bahaghs Lodge is labelled as "in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but is shown as "Bahaghs Lodge" on the later 25-inch Ordnance Survey map. Bary notes that Charles O'Connell is said to have built it in 1833 around the time of his marriage to Katherine O'Connell, daughter of the Liberator. The family were later obliged to leave the property due to financial difficulties. Portions of the ruin now remains. |
