House name	Description
Ballymalis	Christopher Gallway was leasing a property from John Sealy, which included a mill, at Ballymalis at the time of Griffith’s valuation. It was then valued at £34. It is labelled "paper mill" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as "woollen mill" on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. An extensive range of buildings still exists at the site. Elsewhere in this townland is Ballymalis Castle, a tower house in existence since the sixteenth century and latterly, associated with the Eager family.
Knocknamucklagh House	Charles Daly was leasing this property from the Kenmare estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £5 10s. Bary indicates that this is a very old property, possibly built by the Fitzgeralds in the early 18th century when they were Kenmare’s tenants here. By the middle of the 19th century the Daly family were occupying the property which is still extant.
Kilcolman Abbey	Kilcoleman Abbey was the residence of Sir William Godfrey at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £33. Lewis also records it as his residence in 1837. In 1894 Slater referred to it as the seat of Sir John F. Godfrey. In 1906, it was still part of the Godfrey estate and valued at £35 10s.The Irish Tourist Association survey of the early 1940s refers to it as "Godfrey House, a fine type of Elizabethan type mansion". Bary states that the original house, built by the first Godfrey to settle in the area at the end of the seventeenth century, was called Bushfield but that it burned down in 1774 though Wilson still refers to it by this name in 1786 and provides a detailed description of the surroundings. Knightly indicates that a new house was then built by Sir William Godfrey. This house was remodelled twice in the nineteenth century. Sir William Maurice Godfrey sold Kilcoleman in the 1960s and it was demolished in 1977.
Glen Ellen (Kilcolman)	James Godfrey was leasing this property from Lord Monteagle's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11 10s. Bary indicates that it was in the possession of a branch of the Godfrey family up until the end of the nineteenth century when it was then sold to the Huggard family. Slater notes it as the residence of Jn. T. Huggard in 1894. It has had several owners since then but is still extant and occupied.
Rockfield	In 1837 Lewis noted that "Rockville" was the property of the representatives of the late John Drew. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Whorland was leasing a property valued at £5 10s from the Drew estate. The property was offered for sale by Alicia Wherland in the Landed Estates Court in July 1862 and again in July 1872. In 1906 Rockfield was owned by Bertram Morrogh Bernard and was valued at £11. Bary mentions it as a house associated with the Sealy family. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Fahagh Court	In 1786 Wilson mentions Fagha as the seat of Mr. Falvey. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Daniel Buckley was leasing this property from John Morrogh Bernard, when it was valued at £3 10s. In 1906 Bertram Morrogh Bernard owned this property, then valued at £25. A house built n the later nineteenth century, it is labelled Fahagh Court on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it had been extensively reconstructed and modernised and "bears little resemblance to the historic residence of the Morrogh-Bernards and before them the O'Flavey clan". It was then occupied by the Reynolds family. Bary states that the property became a hotel in the twentieth century before being damaged by fire. The extensive yard complex has now become the Killarney Country Club and holiday accommodation.
