House name	Description
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.
Corbally (Rattoo)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Pope was leasing this property from the Trinity College Estates when it was valued at £6. A modern house, part of a large farming enterprise, exists at the site now.
Bushmount	Wilson Gun was leasing this property to Dominick Rice at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £16 10s. In 1837 Lewis refers to it as the seat of Dominick Rice. In 1814 Leet had recorded Dominick Rice as resident at Ballymaquin. Bary states that Bushmount was possibly built in the early years of the nineteenth century by Dominick Rice. The house is still extant and occupied.
Lisnagonee or Rattoo West	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Wilson Gun was leasing this property to Thomas O'Connell, when it was valued at £13 5s. It is labelled Rattoo House on the 1st edition Ordnance Map but on the later 1890s Map it is named as Rattoo West. Bary states that this house is now known as Lisnagonee House. It was built by the Gun family, though the date is not clear, but probably in the eighteenth century. It is still extant and occupied.
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.
Milford/Millview	Lewis refers to "Millview" as the seat of Kerry Supple in 1837. A house named Millford is shown in the parish of Rattoo on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, adjacent to a building labelled Millford Tuck Mill. The house is present on the 25-inch map of the 1890s but the mill is not labelled. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Justice Rice held this property from the Provost and Fellows of Trinity College when it was valued at £2 15s. Bary writes that it burned down in the 1970s and is now a ruin.
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.
