House name	Description
Derrynane Abbey	Maurice O’Connell was leasing the property at Darrynane More from the Earl of Cork’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £40. Lewis records it as the seat of Daniel O’Connell, MP. In 1814 Leet notes it as the seat of Maurice O'Connell. in 1906 it was owned by Daniel O'Connell and valued at £35 15s. The Irish Tourist Association Survey gives a detailed description of what it refers to as "the relics of the Liberator" which were kept in the house in the early 1940s. At that time the occupant was Miss Fanny O'Connell, great-grand-daughter of Daniel O'Connell. Bary states that the present house is an extended wing of the original house, built in the mid-18th century, most of which is now gone. The property is now in the care of the Office of Public Works and open to the public during the summer.
West Cove	Edward J. Hartopp was leasing this property at Coad, valued at £14 15s, to Eugene O’Sullivan at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis mentions Castle Cove as the residence of Mr. O'Sullivan in 1837 but he may have meant this house. In 1814, Leet noted Cooe as the seat of John Sesggerson and Bary states that, prior to the O'Sullivan occupation, West Cove was the seat of the Seggerson family. It is still extant and sometimes let as holiday accommodation.
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.
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. Bary states that this house was associated with a branch of the O'Connell family, one of whom, Mary, married Daniel O'Connell. It later fell into ruin and nothing remains today.
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.
