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. | |

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. | |
