At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was occupied by Henry Hunt who held it from the Reverend Richard Maunsell, valued at £35. This property is now known as Friarstown Stud.
Rosbrien	A home of a branch of the Quin family descended from John Quin, second son of Thady Quin (1645-1726). Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Rosbrien as the fine seat of Mr. Quin. It is labelled Rossbrien House on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps but is no longer extant.
Cahernarry House	Originally a Cripps residence, occupied by a member of the Crips family in the 1770s and 1780s and by J. Cripps in 1837. By the time of Griffith's Valuation Henry Watson was in residence. The house was valued at £8. It is not visible on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Modern farm buildings occupy the site now.
Singland House	A building labelled Singland House, in the townland of Singland, appears on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map of the 1830s. A smaller property, labelled Singland Cottage, is shown nearby. On the later 25-inch map of the 1890s, the original Singland House is no longer visible and Singland Cottage is named Singland House. It is no longer extant. The original Singland house is probably that referred to by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Dwyer in 1786.
