House name	Description
Ryves Castle [Castle Jane]	Ryves Castle, previously known as Castle Jane, was the home of the family of this name in the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is referred to as Castle Jane by Wilson in 1786 when he notes it as the seat of Mr. Ryves. By the 1830s however William H. Ryves of Ryves Castle appears to have moved to live in Brighton, as the birth of many of his children is recorded in the Limerick newspapers as having taken place there. In 1826 Fitzgerald records Ryves Castle as the residence of John Lowe. Lewis referring to the parish of Knocklong, notes that Thaddeus R. Ryan was resident at Castle Jane and that there was a vault of the Lowe family located in the grounds of Ryves Castle, that family having previously been its proprietors. For the parish of Ballyscanlan he records Ryves Castle as the residence of P. [T?] Ryan. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was valued at £29 and occupied and held in fee by William H. Ryves. In 1906 it was valued at £31 and was occupied by Thomas J. Franks. Later owned by Mr D. Fleming, this house is now demolished.
Scarteen	Thaddeus R. Ryan was resident at nearby Castle Jane [Ryves Castle] in 1837 as recorded by Lewis and Scarteen was unoccupied. John Ryan was the occupier of Scarteen in the early 1850s when the house was valued at £30+. He held the property from William H. Ryves. His widow Alice owned 50 acres in county Limerick in the 1870s. The Ryans still live at Scarteen where the famous pack of hounds of that name is kennelled.

Bennett by Charles Frederick Anderson see http://www.dia.ie/works/view/256 The house is named on the first Ordnance Survey map as Gleneefy but on the later 25-inch map as Glenefy. In 1837 Castlecreagh was the residence of G. Bennett and at the time of Griffith's Valuation Castlecreagh, valued at £26 was held by George L. Bennett in fee. In 1906 occupied by William H.M. Bennett and still valued at £26. It is still extant.
Mooresfort	The home of the Crosbie Moore family in the 18th and early 19th century, Wilson refers to Moore's-fort as "the handsome seat of Edward Moore" in 1786. Lewis records Maurice Crosbie Moore as resident in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Edward C. Moore was still in possession of Mooresfort. However it was advertised for sale in 1852 and sold to Charles Moore of county Antrim, who altered and remodelled the house, reducing it from a 3 storey to a 2 storey house. The house remained in the possession of this family into the 20th century. It is now the main residence on a working farm.
