House name	Description
Ballyheige Castle	Pierce Crosbie was in possession of Ballyheige Castle at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £62 10s. Noted by Slater as the seat of Col. James Crosbie in 1894. In 1906 it was owned by James D. Crosbie and valued at £50. The Ordnance Survey Field Name Books describe the house as "a splendid and commodious building in the Gothic style" and record that the house was burned on the night of 14 November 1840. Bary writes that this had originally been the property of the Cantillons, some of whom later intermarried with the Crosbies. The original house on this site was constructed in the mid-eighteenth century but was renovated and enlarged to the design of Richard Morrison in the early nineteenth century. The building was used as a prison at the time of the War of Independence in the early 1920s and was subsequently burnt. Very little of the original remains but some renovation has taken place and there is holiday accommodation at the site, now surrounded by the Golf Course.
Toanreagh	This house seems to have been constructed after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but it appears on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Richard Oliver was leasing this property to Francis Creagh at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9 10s. A house and substantial farm are still extant at the site.
Ballynoe House	William Stoughton was leasing this property to Catherine Pierce at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £21 15s. In 1837 Lewis refers to it as the seat of D. Pierce. Leets mentions it as the residence of Daniel Pearce in 1814. In 1906 it was owned by the representatives of Charles William Stoughton and was valued at £19. Bary writes that the Pierce or Pierse family were agents for the Stoughtons. The house is still extant and occupied.
