House name Description
Brook Lodge/Dangan Ville Occupied by William O'Connell in 1814 and by Pierce O'Brien who held it from Pierce Creagh in the mid 19th century, when the house was valued at over £13. By the 1870s this house, which is labelled Brooke Lodge on the 25-inch map of the 1890s, was the residence of Nicholas Henry Martin. A house is still extant at this site.
Newgrove Home of the Browne family in the 18th century and for the first half of the 19th century. In the 1850s this 18th century house, valued at £30 was in the possession of Eliza Browne, widow of Thomas Browne of Newgrove who died in 1847. Mrs Browne died in 1864 and the house and estate passed to the Brady family. Only some walls of the house remain. Photo of Newgrove
Bunavory A house on the Molony estate, occupied by William Scanlan in the 1850s. The house is now divided into two residences.
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.
Kiltanon Kiltanon was the home of the Molony family for at least two centuries. The house built in 1833 had a drive which linked it to the other nearby Molony residences at Bunavory and Cragg. The house was burnt in September 1920 and is now a ruin. In the second half of the 19th century another house, known as the Home Farm House, was built at Kiltanon for Marcus Molony, eight son of James Molony and his agent. This house is still extant.

Nutgrove Cottage Another Molony house in the townland of Kiltanon, occupied by James Robb at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £20, now a ruin.
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. Photo of Maryfort
Tyredagh Castle Built by at least 1814 when it was occupied by Thomas Brown who in that year married Elizabeth Comyn. In 1837 Mrs Browne was in residence. By the time of Griffith's Valuation Mary Gore was the occupant holding the property from Eliza Browne. Weir writes that the house was accidentally burnt down about 1903.
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.
