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.
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.
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.
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.
