House name Description
Whitehall Edward Townsend held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22. Lewis noted it as the residence of S. Townsend in 1837. In 1906 it was owned by the representatives of Samuel R. Townsend and valued at £21. Bence-Jones indicates that it later became the property of the Alleyne family. The Irish Tourist Association reported in the early 1940s that it was still occupied at that time. Photo of Whitehall
Inane At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Rev. Richard Marmion was leasing this property to Thomas Long when it was valued at £16 5s. Noted by Lewis as the seat of H. Marmion in 1837, it is labelled Inane on both the 1st-edition and 25-inch Ordnance Survey maps. There is still an extant house at this site. A smaller property in the same townland, labelled Inane Cottage [W042286], was leased by Patience Marmion from Samuel Townsend in 1853, when it was valued at almost £4. A house still exists at this site also.
Baltimore House Jane Freke was leasing this property from Lady Carbery's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 10s. Lewis notes Baltimore Castle as the residence of Mrs. Freke in 1837. The building labelled Baltimore House on the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps is still extant. Baltimore Castle is an older, seventeenth century building which has recently been restored. Photo of Baltimore House

Killeena Rev. John Wright was leasing this property from the Beecher estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £9. It is labelled as Killeena on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but is described as "in ruins" on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Modern holiday accommodation exists at the site now.
