House name	Description
Ballyhorgan House (Ratoo)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Thomas Stoughton was occupying this property which was valued at £33. Lewis refers to it as the seat of T.A. Stoughton in 1837. Bary states that this house was built by the Stoughtons in the seventeenth century and continued to be occupied by them until the twentieth century, though it suffered attacks from the Whiteboys and during the War of Independence. It is now a ruin.
Ballynagare House	John Morrogh Bernard was leasing this property to George Gilbert (Senior) at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6. In 1837, Lewis described it as the seat of the representatives of the late John Barnard. Leet had noted it as the seat of the latter in 1814. Bary indicates that the original house at this site has been demolished.
Corbally (Rattoo)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Pope was leasing this property from the Trinity College Estates when it was valued at £6. A modern house, part of a large farming enterprise, exists at the site now.
Bushmount	Wilson Gun was leasing this property to Dominick Rice at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £16 10s. In 1837 Lewis refers to it as the seat of Dominick Rice. In 1814 Leet had recorded Dominick Rice as resident at Ballymaquin. Bary states that Bushmount was possibly built in the early years of the nineteenth century by Dominick Rice. The house is still extant and occupied.
Lisnagonee or Rattoo West	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Wilson Gun was leasing this property to Thomas O'Connell, when it was valued at £13 5s. It is labelled Rattoo House on the 1st edition Ordnance Map but on the later 1890s Map it is named as Rattoo West. Bary states that this house is now known as Lisnagonee House. It was built by the Gun family, though the date is not clear, but probably in the eighteenth century. It is still extant and occupied.
Rattoo A	Wilson Gun was leasing a property to John Hanlon at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 10s. This may be the building shown on the Ordnance Survey maps adjacent to the area known as The Paddock and not far from the farmyard. Buildings are still extant at these locations.
Ballyconry House	Eyre Stack was in possession of Ballyconry House at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £13. In 1814 Leet noted Ballyconry as the residence of John Stack while Lewis mentions it as the seat of Eyre W. Stack in 1837. Bary writes that it later came into the ownership of the Rice family, became semi-derelict but was then rescued and used a Youth Centre. She notes that it was also known as Ballyloughrane House.
Ennismore House	George Hewson was leasing this property from the Earl of Listowel's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22. In 1814 Leet refers to it as the residence of F. Hewson while Lewis, in 1837 notes that Ennismore, the seat of J.F. Hewson, gave its name to a title held by the Hare family, Earls of Listowel and Barons Ennismore. In 1906 it was part of the Listowel estate and valued at £26 10. Bary writes that this property was originally in the possession of the Knight of Kerry but was bought by the Hare family, Earls of Listowel in the 1790s. The Hewson family lived here up until the 1920s but the house is now demolished.
Milford/Millview	Lewis refers to "Millview" as the seat of Kerry Supple in 1837. A house named Millford is shown in the parish of Rattoo on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, adjacent to a building labelled Millford Tuck Mill. The house is present on the 25-inch map of the 1890s but the mill is not labelled. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Justice Rice held this property from the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College when it was valued at £2 15s. Bary writes that it burned down in the 1970s and is now a ruin.
Drommartin	Lewis refers to Dromartin as the residence of J. Creagh in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Creagh was leasing this property from Richard Oliver when it was valued at £4. No house exists at this location now.
Old Court [Lixnaw House]	The Irish Tourist Association Survey refers to the "once magnificent mansion" of the Fitzmaurices, Earls of Kerry. By the 1940s only a few walls remained "supporting a henhouse and some turnip and potato pits". The survey also noted the survival of a summer house, a high circular mausoleum and a "hermitage". Bary notes that the property was home to the family for up to 500 years but fell into ruin in the later eighteenth century. It is labelled "Lixnaw House (in ruins)" on the 1st edtion Ordnance Survey map but as "Old Court" on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Some ivy-covered ruins remain at the site.
