Bolton Waller held the property in fee in the early 1850s when the buildings were valued at £43 and the demesne was over 400 acres.

It was valued at £36 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and at £63 in 1906. It remained in the possession of the General's descendants until 1919 when it was bought by the Salesian Fathers who started an agricultural school. It is now a secondary school run by the Salesian Order.

Lewis writes that Holly Park was the ancient residence of the Taylor family "now the property of Sir Aubrey de Vere". However Griffith's Valuation records Richard Taylor holding Holly Park in the early 1850s in fee. It was valued at £36. In 1894, Slater referred to it as the seat of George Taylor and in 1906 George Taylor held 277 acres of untenanted land and a mansion house valued at £34 at Currahchase North. Sold by the Taylors in 1939. Feheney writes that the son of Tom Clarke, one of the leaders executed in 1916, bought Holly Park from the Land Commission in the 1940s.

Westropp. In 1906 Ballynacarriga valued at £20.10 shillings was occupied by Norris Richard Russell.

Court/Kildimo Court	In 1837 Lewis wrote that Kildimo Court "which is nearly entire was the seat of the Hartstonge family". The Hartstonges appear to have inherited this property from the Widenhams. In 1786 Wilson refers to Court as the seat of Sir Harry Hartstronge and notes that "a bridge is now building at the ferry of Court but the house is in ruins". The property called Court Castle is labelled "in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A house labelled "Court" appears in the same townland on both the 1st and 25-edition maps.
