House name	Description
Woodville	Richard Orpen was occupying a property valued at £18 5s at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lewis also notes it as his residence in 1837. In 1814 Leet recorded it as the seat of Samuel Orpen. Bary states that this house was sometimes known as Cranberry House, though on the Ordnance Survey maps it appears as Woodville. It was occupied by various members of the Orpen family throughout the nineteenth century but is now ruinous.
Sillahertane House	John B. Warren was leasing this property from Richard Orpen at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 10s. It is named on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as Sillahertane Cottage though Lewis records it as Sillerdine Cottage in 1837. Bary indicates that it was also known as Sillahertane House and Warren's Lodge.The house later came into the possession of Francis Wise Low, of Kilshane, county Tipperary, who extended it in the early years of the twentieth century. In 1906 it was owned by Sarah S. Lowe and valued at £40. It was burnt in 1921 and is now a ruin. It forms part of a 500-acre sporting estate which also includes a self-catering holiday home, dating from the 1870s. See www.sillahertane.com.for an in-depth history of the estate.
