House name	Description
Ayle	The home of a branch of the Macnamara family in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was advertised for sale in 1850 and Griffith's Valuation records Joseph Browne as the occupier. He held the property in fee, the buildings were valued at £14. Weir writes that the original house was demolished and that the house now standing which was occupied by the Walshes, agents to the Macnamaras, was uninhabited. see http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/0,,568230,00.html
St Catherines	An O'Callaghan property from the 18th century, George O'Callaghan was residing at St Catherines in 1814 and D. Sampson in 1837. Burkes 1904 records George's brother Edward "of Coolready" and he was married to a Miss Sampson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was unoccupied and Ralph Westropp was the immediate lessor. The buildings were valued at £24. Only the servants' quarters now remain and have been converted into a family home.
Fort Edward	Built post the first Ordnance Survey probably by a member of the Westropp family. Occupied by Dr Patrick Cullinan at the time of Griffith's Valuation who held it from the Reverend John Gleeson. The house is still inhabited and well maintained.
Ballinahinch	A branch of the Molony family appear to have occupied Ballinahinch for some time in the 18th century. Occupied by Cornelius O'Callaghan in 1814 and 1837 and by his son Charles George in the mid to late 19th century. It is recorded as his seat in 1894. By 1906 Ballynahinch mansion house valued at £45 was in the possession of the Gore family. Weir writes that owners left when the "Troubles" began early in the 20th century and the house was vandalised. It was later demolished. The yard buildings remain and are still in use.
Kilgory	The main residence of the O'Callaghan family in the 18th century situated on the shore of Kilgory Lough. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Callaghan. Towards the end of the century the house became the residence of the O'Connells. Colman O'Loghlen married a sister of Daniel O'Connell of Kilgory before 1783. In 1814 Kilgory was the home of Daniel O'Connell and in 1837 Maurice O'Connell was the proprietor. It continued to belong to the O'Connells for the rest of the 19th century. Weir writes that most of the house was demolished in 1928.
Fort Anne	An 18th century house that was in the possession of Robert Westropp, eldest son of Poole and Mary Westropp, by 1814. His son John, who married Maria Macnamara, was occuping the house in 1837 and their son Robert was resident in the mid 1850s. Robert Westropp held the property in fee and the buildings were valued at £25. This house passed into the possession of the O'Callaghan Westropp family. It no longer exists.
Maryfort	An early 18th century house with late 19th century embellishments, home of the Westropps. By the early 19th century it was occupied by John O'Callaghan (died 1818) who seems to have moved there from Kilgory. Occupied by his grandson John O'Callaghan at the time of Griffith's Valuation, valued at £35 and held from George Westropp. In the 20th century it was the home of his son Colonel George O'Callaghan who assumed the additional name of Westropp. Weir writes that the house was demolished in 1967 by Colonel Conor J. O'Callaghan Westropp, the last member of the family to live there.
Kilbarron	A property originally associated with the Ryan family. Mr Robert McGrath was residing at Kilbaron in 1814 and in 1837 Lewis records that E. McGrath rebuilt the house "on the site of the old mansion". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the buildings valued at £6.5 shillings were held by Edward McGrath in fee. The house is now a ruin.
Annaly Lodge	A house built post 1850 as a shooting lodge for the White family. Sold in the late 1870s to the Phelps it later became the property of the Forestry Department. Back in private hands now it is still occupied. [Grid reference is approximate]
Garruragh House	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Garuragh" as the seat of Mr. Harrison. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the house was part of the O'Callaghan estate but leased to the Tulla Board of Guardians as an auxiliary workhouse when the buildings were valued at £48. It is labelled Garruragh House on both the 1st edition and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps though much of the buildings have disappeared by the 1890s and only some ruins remain now.
