House name Description
Curragh House Lady Headley’s estate was leasing a property valued at £6 5s to James Beazly at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Bary states that the Beazlys acted as agents for the Headley estate and that Curragh House was built c.1810. The house underwent renovation in the later twentieth century.
Grenagh House Denis Lawlor was leasing Grenagh House from Henry Herbert’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £23 15s. Lewis mentions Grena as the seat of John O’Connell in 1837. The Ordnance Survey Name Books indicate that it was built by Mrs. Delaney in 1792. Bary states that O’Connell was obliged to leave the house due to debts. It then came into the possession of Denis Shine Lawlor and later again, Daniel James. It was afterwards the property of the O'Connor family but has been ruinous since the mid twentieth century.

Elsewhere in this townland is Ballymalis Castle, a tower house in existence since the sixteenth century and latterly, associated with the Eager family.
Knocknamucklagh House Charles Daly was leasing this property from the Kenmare estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £5 10s. Bary indicates that this is a very old property, possibly built by the Fitzgeralds in the early 18th century when they were Kenmare’s tenants here. By the middle of the 19th century the Daly family were occupying the property which is still extant.
Beaufort Reverend Edward Day was in possession of the house at Beaufort at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £37. Lewis refers to it as the seat of Frederick W. Mullins in 1837. In 1814 Leet also refers to it as the residence of Reverend F. Mullins. In 1786 Wilson refers to Beaufort as the seat of Hon. Dean Crosbie. Various sources, including Bary, indicate that it was built on the site of a tower house known as Short Castle. . It was sold by the Mullins estate in the mid nineteenth century to the Day family who sold it again in the 1880s. Referred to by Slater in 1894 as the seat of Lt-Col. E. Nash Leahy. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Beaufort
