House name	Description
Longueville House	Longueville House was the seat of the Longfield family, built in 1720. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to it as the seat of John Longfield. In the 1850s it was valued at £56 and held by Richard Longfield from the representatives of Charles P. Coote with a demesne of 312 acres. The Longfields sold Longueville to Senator William O'Callaghan in 1938. The Irish Tourist Association survey of the 1940s claims that the original lands were taken from the O'Callaghans after the 1641 rebellion and granted to Sir Nicholas Purdon. Longueville is now a country house hotel.
Lohort Castle	A 15th century tower house, restored by the Perceval family, Earls of Egmont, in the mid 18th century and inhabited by their agents. At the time of Griffith's Valuation held by the Earl in fee and valued at £27. Remodelled in 1876, the castle later became the home of Sir Timothy O'Brien, baronet, and in 1906 he was recorded as the occupier. The building was burnt in July 1921 just before the War of Independence ended when it was the residence of Sir Timothy O'Brien. It was partly restored. The Irish Tourist Authority Survey reported in 1944 that it was the residence of James McCabe who had purchased it in 1925. It is still inhabited and in 2011 it was advertised for sale.
