House name	Description
Srugreana Abbey	Daniel McCarthy was occupying Srugreana Abbey at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9. In 1894 Slater notes it as the seat of Samuel T. McCarthy. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association Survey described it as "a large modern residence" fornerly that of the late Samuel T. McCarthy, a judge in India and later editor of the Kerry Archaeological Magazine. Bary indicates that this property was held by descendents of the McCarthy Mor family, owners of this area before the seventeenth century confiscations, who continued as tenants of the Lansdowne estate. The property was sold in the 1930s and demolished later in the twentieth century.
Castlequin	The representatives of Kean Mahony were occupying Castlequin at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £28 15s. In 1837 Lewis notes it as the seat of Kean Mahony. The Ordnance Survey Name Books, of 1840, mention that it had begun in September 1839 and was still being built. It is likely that this was a renovation of an earlier house. In 1894 it was the residence of Mrs.Mahony. In 1943 he Irish Tourist Association Survey mentions it having a chapel and library, "once the home of the McDonagh Mahonys, now in a derelict state and said to be distinguished by a ghost". Bary states that the house had probably been built in the late eighteenth century and continued to be occupied by the Mahony family until the early twentieth century when it was sold. It eventually fell into ruin in the 1940s.
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.
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.
Aghagadda House	James O'Connell was in possession of this property, valued at £10 15s, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the house was vacant. In 1837 Lewis notes Ahadda as the seat of Rev. Mahony. Leet refers to Richard Mahony residing at Portmagee in 1814. Bary states that the house was built by the Mahonys who resided there in the early nineteenth century. It seems to have become the home of Charles O'Connell, son-in-law of Daniel O'Connell, for a time in the 1850s. Later it was occupied by members of the Spotswood family of Valentia. It is now a ruin.
Aghanboy	Mary Bourke was leasing this property valued at £5 from Col. Thomas Bourke at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is not named on the 1st edition map though buildings are shown. Leet records Ahanebee as the seat of Captain Burke in 1814. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Waterview	Frederick Blennerhassett was leasing this property to Patrick Trant at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6 15s. Both Lewis, in 1837, and Leet, in 1814, refer to it as the residence of P.Trant. Bary quotes O'Donovan that Waterview was built by Captain Trant in the early years of the nineteenth century. It remained a residence of the Trant family until the middle of the century when it seems to have been bought by the O'Connells. It was sold to the Moriarty family in 1927 and is still standing and inhabited.
Kilkeaveragh House	Frederick Blennerhassett was leasing this property to Francis Chute at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £13. Lewis notes Kilkeaveragh House as the seat of Reverend J. Maunsel in 1837. Bary quotes O'Donovan who claimed that Francis Chute had built this house in 1836 but it is possible that he renovated an earlier property. The house is described as "in ruins" on the 1895 OS Map but there is a house labelled Seamount a short distance away, which Bary states was built by the Blennerhassetts and is still extant. Details of ground plan of Kilkeveragh House are held in the National Library of Ireland, Ms.13,631(7).

Both Lewis, in 1837, and Leet, in 1814, record it as the seat of Whitwell Butler. Bary states that it was probably built by Whitwell Butler in the late eighteenth century. In 1906 the property was owned by Arabella Butler and was valued at £8 5s. It continued to be used by the family until the end of the twentieth century but is now unoccupied and in poor repair.
Kells House or Hollymount Cottage	Roland Blennerhassett was leasing this property to Richard Blennerhassett at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £5 15s. Bary states that he built the original house here in the 1830s which he called Hollymount Cottage. It later became known as Kells House and continued in the Blennerhassett family until the twentieth century. In 1906 it was the property of Rowland Blennerhassett and valued at £5 15s. It has had a number of owners since and is now a successful plant nursery with gardens open to the public. see www.kellsgardens.ie.
Emlaghmore House	Thomas Smith was leasing this property from the Lansdowne estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 10s.

Fermoyle Castle (Iveragh)	Charles Sugrue was in possession of this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £15. In 1906 it was owned by the representatives of Edward Sugrue. Bary states that there was originally an O'Sullivan castle at this site, on to which a house was built by John Sugrue in the 1820s. The Sugrue family later moved to Cork and the house was used for some years as the local Catholic presbytery. It is now a ruin.
Valentia Slate Quarry	Berwick Blackburne was leasing the slate quarry and associated buildings at Dohilla, Valentia, from the Knight of Kerry at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The buildings were then valued at £26 15s. The quarry was opened by the Knight of Kerry in 1816 and contributed slate to many of the Victorian period's most farmous building projects, including the Houses of Parliament at Westminster. It closed in the twentieth century but was re-opened in 1998 and is still working.
Glanleam	Glanleam was the home of the Knight of Kerry in Valentia. Tradition claims the property was first built in the eighteenth century as a linen mill, which was later remodelled as a house. In 1837 Lewis mentions it as the "beautiful seat of the Knight of Kerry". At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was valued at £31. In 1906 it was still the property of the Knight of Kerry and valued at £75. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it was the owned by Lord Monteagle. It is still extant and now operates as a luxury guesthouse, famous for its tropical gardens.
Corabeg House	John Spottiswoode was leasing this property from the Knight of Kerry's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuaton, when it was valued at almost £4. Lewis refers to it as the seat of Capt. Spotswood in 1837. The 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s labels the property as "in ruins". In 1906 a property of the same valuation at Coarhamore nearby was owned by the Congested Districts Board. It is no longer extant.
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.
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.
