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.
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.
