House name	Description
Ardnageeha	Hajba writes that this house was built by Daniel McCartie, a Commissioner of Tithes for the parishes of Cullen and Drishane. The house valued at £12.10 shillings was occupied by his wife Anne McCartie at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The property was held from the Earl of Egmont. Daniel's only child Mary married John Maurice O'Connell, a grandson of Daniel O'Connell. The O'Connell lived at Ardnageeha until 1890 when they moved to Derragh House. The house is still extant though possibly not occupied.
Glantanemore	A house valued at £11 in Glantanemore was occupied by Robert McCartie in the early 1850s. He also held 309 acres in the townland from Charles D. Purcell and Captain Wood. This may be the house referred to by Hajba as Glantane House, Cullen, home of the McSweeneys in the 20th century.
Church Hill	Occupied by Charles McCarthy in 1814 and by Daniel McCartie in 1837. Mary McCartie occupied the house in the early 1850s holding it from Anne McCartie. It was then valued at £5.10 shillings. Hajba writes that the last McCartie to live at Church Hill was Richard. The property was sold to the Shine family in the late 19th century and there are only some ruined remains of the house.
Duarrigle Castle	Originally a tower house of the O'Keeffe family, leased by Henry Wrixon to Thomas Holmes Justice who built a 'mock' castle in the early 19th century. Inherited by his son Thomas Holmes Justice medical doctor of Mallow. Sold in the Encumbered Estates' Court in 1851 and bought by Henry Chinnery Justice, who left it to his sister Mrs Wallis when he died in 1859. The castle is now a ruin but the gatelodge is occupied.
Mount Justice	This was a home of the Justice family from at least the late 18th century. By the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was valued at £3.15 shillings and was occupied by John Bolton Justice who held it from Charles D. Purcell. Hajba writes that members of the Justice family continued to occupy the house until the 1920s. It is now demolished.
Rathroe	Hajba records a lease of Rathroe House from Sir Robert Deane to Denis McCarthy dated 1779. In 1837 another Denis McCarthy was occupying the house and he was also resident in the early 1850s when the house was held from the Reverend Nicholas Chinnery. The buildings were valued at £26.15 shillings. Hajba writes that the McCarthys continued to live in the house until it was sold in the 1930s to Con Meaney TD. The house is no longer extant.
