House name Description
Duagh House Oliver Fitzmaurice was in possession of Duagh House at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 10s. Lewis mentions it as the seat of M. Fitzmaurice in 1837. Bary writes that this house was built by the Fitzmaurices in the eighteenth century and remained in their ownership until the end of the nineteenth, when the estate began to be sold to the tenants. The house was finally demolished in the 1960s.
Duagh Glebe Sir John Benn-Walsh's estate was leasing this property to Rev. Robert Hickson at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £17. Lewis records it as the seat of Rev.R. Hickson in 1837.
Kilcarra House Rev. Rowland Bateman was residing at Kilcarra at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6 10s. Bary writes that the house had been built by the Fitzmaurices but later came into the possession of the Batemans who lived there until the 1880s. It is still extant and occupied.

Ballinruddery House Ballinruddery was owned by the Knight of Kerry at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £23 10s. This seems to be the house referred to by Wilson in 1786 as Woodford, "the seat of Robert Fitzgerald, with ample demesnes". Leet notes it as the residence of Hon. M. Fitzgerald in 1814. Lewis, in 1837, describes it as "the occasional residence of Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, beautifully situated in a wooded demesne". It is recorded by Slater as the seat of Sir Maurice Fitzgerald in 1894. Bary states that the house was believed to date from the sixteenth century but was destroyed by fire accidentally in the later nineteenth century.
Roseland Cottage Rev. John Day was leasing this property to James Mitchell at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9. Bary writes that nothing is remembered of the house now except its name.
