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.
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.
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.
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.
