House name	Description
Ballyhorgan South	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Goodman Gentleman was leasing this property from Sophia Herranc, when it was valued at £7. Lewis mentions a house called Ballyhorgan under Finuge Civil Parish as the seat of W. Hilliard in 1837. Leet also notes it as the seat of William R. Hilliard in 1814. In 1906 it was owned by Robert G. Gentleman and valued at £8.
Ballyhorgan West	Sophia Herrane was leasing this property to Stephen Sandes at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £10 15s. It is labelled Ballyhorgan West on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Buildings are still extant at the site.
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.
Finuge House	Rev. Maurice Hewson was leasing this property to William M. Hewson as the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £13 5s. In 1837, Lewis notes it as the seat of W. Hartnett. Bary states that it was burnt in the early twentieth century and nothing now remains.
Kilcreen Cottage	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Alexander Elliott was leasing this property to William Harnett, when it was valued at £12 15s. Bary states that this house probably dates to the eighteenth century.William Harnett may have acted as an agent for the Cooke family in the Listowel area. Kilcreen Cottage is still extant and occupied.
Billeragh House	Robert Hilliard was leasing this property from Thomas Dennis at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9 10s. Leet notes it as the residence of Mr. Hilliard in 1814.
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.
Killacrim House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Timothy Horgan was leasing this property from the Earl of Listowel's estate when it was valued at £5. In 1837 Lewis mentions it as the seat of Captain O'Halloran. In 1814, Leet refers to it as the residence of John Raymond. Bary writes that, in the eighteenth century, it was in lived in by members of the Fitzgerald family, the Knights of Kerry. The original house was destroyed by fire in the early 1970s and a new one constructed at the site.
Greenville	William G. Sandes was leasing this property from the Earl of Listowel's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £6 10s.In 1837 Lewis mentions it as the seat of W. G. Sandes. Leet, in 1814, refers to it as the residence of George Sandes. Bary notes that it was occupied by this branch of the Sandes family until the First World War. It was repaired and rebuilt in the 1920s and is still extant.
Ballyhennessy	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, George Sandes was leasing this property from Mrs. S.C. Herrane, when it was valued at £5 and included an orchard. By the 1890s the 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey map indicates that the orchard was all but gone and the buildings were also altered. A substantial farm exists at the site 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.
