Dangan The main residence of the Creagh family in the 18th and 19th centuries, held by Cornelius Creagh in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at over £25.. Sold in the 1920s, the Irish Tourist Association Survey file records the house as dilapidated and going to ruin in the 1940s. Weir writes that the house was demolished in 1948.
Cranagher Originally a Bindon home this property passed to the Blood family through a marriage in the 1770s. In 1814 it was occupied by Mr James Kerin and in the mid 19th century by Giles Darcy who held it from William Blood. The house was valued at less than £2. There is a substanial house and demesne marked on the first Ordnance Survey map at Cranagher. Weir writes that a new house was started sometime in the 19th century a short distance from the original but was abandoned before completion. General Sir Bindon Blood sold Cranagher in 1905. Some farm building and modern houses exist at the site now.
Castletown House The original house is now demolished and a 20th century house stands on the site close to an old Macnamara castle. The house was occupied by Francis Macnamara in 1814 and by Robert Malcolm in the mid 19th century who held it from Colonel George Wyndham. It was valued at £10.

Occupied by George Sampson at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £35. Moyriesk was accidently burnt in 1875 though Slater still notes it as a property owned by them in 1894.

Clooney House Originally a 17th century house, the home of the Bindon family, it was burnt in the 19th century. Lewis refers to "Clonie, the demesne of Burton Bindon" in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was unoccupied and William S. Vesey Fitzgerald was the immediate lessor. Rebuilt in the latter half of the 19th century by Joseph Hall and his wife Ellen Bindon. The house was bought by the Tuckeys following the death of Joseph Hall in 1907, the land was divided in the 1920s and the house went to ruin. Photo of Clooney House
Corbally The Spaights were resident at Corbally from the latter part of the 18th century. Poole Gabbett was resident here in the first decade of the 19th century. Griffith's Valuation show that the Spaights held Corbally from the Mahon family "of Corbally". The house appears to have reverted back to the Mahons in the later part of the 19th century. Slater notes it as the residence of George T.M Stacpoole in 1894.
Toonagh A home of a branch of the Miller family, probably descended from Henry Miller, uncle to Sir John Riggs Miller. By the mid 19th century Toonagh was unoccupied and the surrounding land was in the possession of John Blood Smyth who held it from William C. Judd. The house is still a residence.

Occupied by Robert Young in 1814 and by John Blood in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the property from William Monsell. The front of the house was replaced following a fire in the 19th century. Functioned as a hotel in the latter part of the 20th century and now the site of a major hotel development.
Brook Lodge/Dangan Ville Occupied by William O'Connell in 1814 and by Pierce O'Brien who held it from Pierce Creagh in the mid 19th century, when the house was valued at over £13. By the 1870s this house, which is labelled Brooke Lodge on the 25-inch map of the 1890s, was the residence of Nicholas Henry Martin. A house is still extant at this site.

The castle, herd's house and 96 acres were in the possession of the Reverend William Ashworth in the mid 19th century, who held them from a Caswell. A mansion house valued at £13 was in the possession of Count James Considine in 1906. The castle was bought by John Hunt in the mid 1960s and was the first home of the Hunt Museum.
Knappogue Castle A Macnamara castle until the early 19th century, it was sold to the Scotts of Cahircon in 1800. In the possession of William Scott by 1837. Lewis writes that the castle formerly belonged to the Macnamaras of Moyriesk and that it "is one of few ancient castles still inhabited". Weir writes that a ten bay residence was added to the tower house in the early 19th century. The sale rental of 1854 records George Sampson as tenant and that £8,000 had recently been spent on the building. By the mid 19th century Lord Dunboyne held the Castle valued at £36 in fee. In the mid 1960s the Castle was developed as a banqueting centre for tourists and continues to function in this role today. http://www.gardensireland.com/knappogue-castle.html Photo of Knappogue Castle
