House name Description
Lough Cutra (Lough Cooter) In 1814 Loughcooter was the residence of C. Vereker, MP while Lewis records it as the seat of Viscount Gort. In the 1850s it was owned by Viscount Gough and was valued at £80. In 1906 it was still in the possession of Lord Gough when the buildings were valued at £300. Lough Cutra is still extant and occupied. A restoration programme is underway since 2000 and the castle is now available as an event location. Some of the stable yard has been converted into holiday cottages. See www.loughcutra.com. Photo of Lough Cutra (Lough Cooter)
Ashfield House The house at Ashfield seems to have been known as Clooneene, particularly when it was the home of the Blake Forster family. In 1814 it was the home of Francis Blake Forster but by 1837 Lewis records it as in the ownership of D. McNevin. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson wrote that it was the seat of Mr. Forster. Ashfield House is demolished but substantial parts of the walled garden and the gate lodge are still extant. Photo of Ashfield House
Ballygeagin House In 1837 Lewis lists Ballygaggen as a residence of the Butler family. Timothy Killeen was renting the house in the townland of Ballygaagin, barony of Kiltartan, from Robert J. Lattey in 1855 when it was valued at £10. Though buildings still exist at the site the original house is not extant.
Cregg House The house at Cregg seems to have been built by Francis Butler in the 18th century. Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Butler in 1786. In 1814 it was the residence of Walter Butler and Lewis also records it as a Butler house. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Robert J. Lattey and was valued at £25. This also included the premises known as Cregg Cottage which was located in the demesne. In 1906 it was owned by Robert Thomas Lattey and was valued at £33. The original house is no longer extant.

Rosepark House Tradition suggests that Francis Blake Forster let Clooneene (Ashfield) and built a house which he called Rosepark, after his wife, Rose Ffrench. Rosepark House is recorded by Lewis in 1837 as the seat of the Hugo family. It was leased by Michael Kane to George Crowe at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was then valued at £12. Apart from some estate walls there is no evidence of this property now.
Castle Lodge/Fiddane House At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property at Fiddaun was occupied by Edward Blacquiere and was valued at £10. Castle Lodge is recorded as the home of Charles Lopdell in 1814. In 1837 Lewis also recorded it as a seat of the Lopdell family. It is labelled Castle Lodge on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Fiddane House on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Castle Lodge/Fiddane House
Rosehill The house at Rosehill is included in the sale of the estate of Denis Boland of Gort, in the Land Judges' Court, in the 1880s. It appears on the 1st editon Ordnance Survey map but is not marked on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. An old entrance gateway survives. Photo of Rosehill
Tiraloughan In 1906 Lord Gough owned a property valued at almost £4 at Tiraloughin, parish of Beagh as well as over 100 acres of untenanted land. A house still exists at this location.
Derryowen A home of a branch of the Lopdell family in the 19th century held in fee and of their descendants the Blaquieres in the late 19th and 20th centuries. In July 1889 the notice announcing its proposed sale in the Land Judges' Court describes it as "a very good newly-built dwelling-house, with suitable out-offices". There is still an occupied house at the site.
Doon This is the property also known as Doonemulvilhill where James Butler settled in 1684. The Butlers lived here during the 18th and early 19th centuries. By the 1850s however Edward Galway was living in the house and held the townland from George Wyndham. A modern house now occupies the site.
