House name	Description
Springfield Castle	Originally a Fitzmaurice residence adjoining a tower-house of the Fitzgeralds, this house passed by a marriage in 1775 to the Deane family, Lords Muskerry. It became their main residence in the late 18th century and throughout the 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as " a very fine seat with extensive demesnes". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the Honourable Robert Fitzmaurice Deane was residing at Springfield which was valued at £45. The house was burnt in 1923 and a 19th Gothic wing was made into a new house, which may now be rented as self catering accommodation.
Hernsbrook	A property in the possession of the Ahern family for two centuries. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Maurice Ahern held the property in fee. The buildings were valued at £8. There is still an extant house at Hernsbrook.
Mount Plummer	This house was the home of the Plummer family in the 19th century, occupied by B. Plummer in 1814, by Brudenell Plummer in 1837 and by the Reverend Richard Plummer in the early 1850s. The Reverend R. Plummer held the property from the Dowager Lady O'Brien and the buildings were valued at £10.
Curramore	In 1906 Herbert Sullivan is recorded as the occupier of a mansion house valued at £33.5 shillings in the townland of Knockglass. The Irish Tourist Association survey records that this house was demolished by 1944.
