Firgrove Hogan writes that the building of Firgrove was begun by Thomas, son of Thady O'Halloran, the diarist, and completed by John MacMahon of Knockane. John Peter Kelly took over the house from MacMahon. In 1851 Eliza, daughter of John Scott of Firgrove, married George Fosbery of Clorane, county Limerick. The house was occupied by Charles Butler in the mid 19th century who held the property from John Kelly. It was valued at £35. The house was demolished in the 1920s. Photo of Firgrove

Shepperton Castlekeale and Shepperton or Shepherdsfield houses were both located in the townland of Ballysallagh West. Weir writes that the Fitzgerald family moved from Castlekeale to Shepperton in the latter part of the 18th century. The house appears to have been leased out to many different people, such as John Wrixton in 1814, John Gabbutt in 1837 and Captain William J. Owen in the 1850s when the house was valued at £22. Weir writes that the house is now demolished.
Carrigoran An 18th century house the residence of the Fitzgerald family in the 18th and 19th centuries. Griffith's Valuation shows that the house was valued at £45 in the mid 19th century and that it was held by Sir Edward Fitzgerald from Matthew Rosengrave. An earlier house reputedly destroyed by fire in the late 18th century stood nearby. The house was bought by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in the 1920s. The house was still in use in the 1940s but was demolished in the 1980s. Photo of Carrigoran
