Shepperton	Castlekeale and Shepperton or Shepherdsfield houses were both located in the townland of Ballysallagh West. Weir writes that the Fitzgerald family moved from Castlekeale to Shepperton in the latter part of the 18th century.

Weir writes that the house is now demolished.
Carrigoran	An 18th century house the residence of the Fitzgerald family in the 18th and 19th centuries.

An earlier house reputedly destroyed by fire in the late 18th century stood nearby. The house was bought by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in the 1920s. The house was still in use in the 1940s but was demolished in the 1980s.
