House name	Description
Coomlumminy Court	The representatives of Reverend D. Mahony were occupying a house valued at almost £5, together with over 1400 acres at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1906 this was the property of Mary Mahony and valued at £3. The building was labelled Coomlumminy Court on the 1st and subsequent edition Ordnance Suvey maps and is now a ruin.
Dromore Castle	The reps of Rev. D. Mahony were occupying a property valued at £66, at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis mentions " a noble edifice in the Gothic castellated style" as the seat of Rev. Denis Mahony in 1837. In 1814, Leet noted Dromore as the seat of John Mahony. In 1906 it was owned by H.S. Mahony and valued at £66 15s. Bary states that it was built by Sir Thomas Deane for Rev. Denis Mahony in the 1830s. It remained in the Mahony family until the early years of the twentieth century. It then passed by marriage to the Hood family. The Irish Tourist Association survey in 1943 indicates it was the property of Colonel E. Hood whose wife was "the last of the O'Mahonys, a family associated with the area for over 300 years". It later pass from them to the Wallers, cousins of the Hoods. Dromore Castle is still extant and the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that it was renovated in 1998.
Old Dromore House	The representatives of Rev. D. Mahony were leasing a house valued at £25 to James McClure at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The McClures were the agents for the Mahony estate for many years. It is labelled "Dromore Old" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as "Old Dromore House" on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Bary states that it was the original Mahony house before the building of Dromore Castle. It is not extant now.
Marino Lodge	In 1906 John Columb owned this property, then valued at £6 10s. There are two bathing lodges in this area at the time of Griffith's Valuation, Marino Lodge and Clashganniv. These properties seem to have been part of the Langford estate.
