House name	Description
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.
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.
