House name	Description
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.
Keale House	The seat of a branch of the Leader family in the 18th and 19th centuries, sold by them in the early 20th century. The buildings were valued at £22+ in the mid 19th century and the property was held by John Leader from Thomas G. French. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the present house was built in 1834. It is still extant and well-maintained.
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.
Flintfield House	This house was a seat of the Chinnery family from the mid 18th to the mid 19th century. It was occupied by Barry Cotter in 1814 and by Denis O'Connell in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The buildings were valued at £18+ and the property was held from John Orpen. Home of the MacSweeneys in the 20th century.
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.
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.
Coolemore	This was the residence of Herbert O'Donnell in 1837 and in the early 1850s. Located on the Wallis estate it was valued at £20. Hajba writes that O'Donnell was agent to the Wallis estate and that it was later the home of the Perry family. A house is still extant at this site.
Drishane Castle	Originally a MacCarthy castle, granted to the Hollow Sword Blade Company at the end of the 17th century, it was acquired by Henry Wallis from county Waterford in the early decades of the 18th century. William Wallis built the house near the castle soon afterwards and it remained in Wallis possession until the early 20th century. In 1894 Slater noted it as the seat of Aubrey J Wallace [Wallis]. The Sisters of the Infant Jesus, a French order of teaching nuns, occupied the house for most of the 20th century. In 1944 the Irish Tourist Association Survey outlined a history of the castle and the sale to the nuns. The castle is still extant.
