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.
Rattoo House	At the time of Grffith's Valuation, Rattoo House, in the possession of Wilson Gun, was valued at £20. Lewis refers to Rattoo Lodge as the residence of W.T. Gun in 1837. This would appear to be the house which Bary states was built by Wilson Gun in 1836. The 1st editon Ordnance Survey map, however, indicates "Rattoo House (in ruins)", south west of the Round Tower, which would suggest there was an earlier house also known by this name. In 1906 it was owned by William T.J. Gun and valued at £63. The house remained in the Gun family and their descendents until the early twentieth century when it was sold to the Land Commission by Ella Browne, grand-daughter of Wilson Gun. The Irish Tourist Association Survey, however, still describes it as in her possession "a large straggling building with fourteen bedrooms and fine sittingrooms". It is still extant and occupied. In 2010 it was offered for sale.
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.
Ballyeagh House	Sophia Herranc held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £3 10s and part of a holding of 540 acres. It is described as a Steward's House. This appears to be Ballyeagh House, built after the 1st Ordnance Survey map was published and labelled as such on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. Now the site of a large farm.
Killehenny Lodge	Robert Cashel was leasing this property from the estate of Lady Burghersh at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £5 and part of a holding of over 280 acres. Bary notes that, in the eighteenth century, this house had been associated with the Tidmarsh family. It is no longer extant and the area is covered by housing.
