Ballyartney	A house built by the Quaker family Barclay in the 18th century and their home in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1786 Wilson mentions Ballyartney as the seat of Mr. Barclay. The house was occupied by Charlotte Barclay at the time of Griffith's Valuation but she held it from the Court of Chancery. Home of the O'Dea family in the 20th century. Unoccupied in 2009.
Paradise	This was originally a 17th century house situated almost on the shore of the Shannon. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as "Paradise, the delightful seat of Mr. Henn, finely situated on the side of a high hill". It was altered in the 19th century. Many members of the Henn family were involved in the legal profession and lived in Dublin so the family did not inhabit the house much until the second half of the 19th century. In 1814 John Scott was residing in the house and Thomas Arthur in 1837. In the mid 1850s the house was unoccupied and Augustus Arthur was the immediate lessor. It was valued at over £17.
