House name Description
Allowdale A house valued at almost £12 in the mid 19th century, held by Daniel McCabe from the Earl of Egmont, now a ruin.
Dromagh Castle In 1815 Smith refers to Mr Philpot inhabiting Dromagh. A seat of the Leader family in the 19th century, Lewis writes that the castle was once the chief residence of the O'Keeffes. In 1906 buildings at Dromagh were valued at £27 and William N. Leader was the occupier. Donnelly states that it was burnt in March 1921 during the War of Independence. It is now a ruin.

Dysert A house valued at £12 and held by Nicholas P. Leader in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This house was still in Leader occupation in 1906. A house and farm are still extant at the site.
Nashville/Rosnalee This house was originally known as Nashville and was the home of the family of that name in the 18th century. Wilson refers to it as Nashville, the seat of Mr. Nash, in 1786. It passed by marriage to the Leader family. Nicholas P. Leader occupied the house in 1814. It was still known as Nashville in 1837 but is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as Rosnalee. Valued at £51 at the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held by William Leader in fee and he had a flour mill nearby valued at £45. The Leaders still occupied this house in 1921. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association Survey noted it as having been the chief seat of the Leaders, a two-storey spacious structure which was then unoccupied. It is no longer extant.
Minehill Home of a branch of the Wallis family in the early 19th century. Occupied by Denis McCarthy in 1814 and by John Cooke Wallis in 1837. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the residence of Francis Burton. The house was still home to the Burton family in the early 21st century.
