House name	Description
Sackville House	William T. Crosbie was leasing this property to Sarah Heck at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22 10s. Lewis records it as the property of the Crosbie family but resided in by Rev. R. Maunsell in 1837. Leet, in 1814, noted Sackville as the residence of John Saunders. In 1786, Wilson mentions Sackville " a very neat house, newly erected" as the seat of Rev. Thomas Graves, Dean of Ardfert. In 1906 it was the property of L.T. Crosbie and valued at £25. Bary states that Sackville was built by Thomas Graves, dean of Ardfert, in 1788, as there was no Glebe house there. It was named for Diana Sackville, wife of John Crosbie, second Earl of Glandore. It was leased by the Crosbies or lived in by one of the family for much of the nineteenth century. It was sold in the twentieth century and demolished in the 1950s.
Tubrid House	George Gunn was leasing this property to Henry Hilliard at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22 10s. Lewis recorded Tubrid as the seat of J. O'Connell.The Ordnance Survey Name Books indicate that this townland was owned by John O'Connell of Grenagh, Killarney and that John Sullivan of Tubrid was his agent in the 1830s. The house was occupied by Capt. Henry Hilliard at that time. In 1814, Leet noted the house as the seat of Townsend Gunn. Bary states that Tubrid House was built by the Crosbie family in the mid-eighteenth century and resided in by several generations of that family. The late eighteenth century owner, John G. Crosbie, was involved in a duel in which Sir Barry Denny was killed. A year later Crosbie himself died in mysterious circumstances. The house afterwards was owned by the Gunn and Hewson families. It is no longer extant.
Abbeylands	In 1906 L.T, Crosbie owned a property at Skrillagh, valued at £17. This townland also belonged to the Crosbie estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was let to the McElligott family. Bary states that the house, Abbeylands, was built in the 1870s as a residence for George Trench, agent to the Crosbie estate. In 1901 it was occupied by Ross Palmer and his family, JP for county Kerry and creamery owner. It was burnt in 1921 but restored later in the twentieth century and is now an ecumenical retreat centre.
Ballyhenry House	In 1786 Wilson refers to Ballyhenry as the seat of Mr. Hartnett. No house is named in this townland on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property is held by Michael Duggan leasing from the Hurley estate and the house is valued at £3 10s. Modern farm buildings exist at the site now.
