House name	Description
Hollybrook	This house was built in the 1750s as a successor to an earlier castle. The estate passed to the Phibbs family later in the 18th century and Wilson refers to it as the seat of William Phibbs in 1786. It was later bought back by another member of the ffolliott family. McParlan described it as "a very good house" in 1802. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the property of John Ffolliott. In 1906 it was the property of Agnes ffolliott when the house was valued at £55. During the twentieth century Hollybrook was run as a hotel for a number of years but it is now privately owned. The house is still standing but does not appear to be occupied.
Rockingham	Sir Robert King, Viscount Lorton, built Rockingham House around 1810 and the family moved there from King House in Boyle. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Rockingham was valued at £180. In 1903 Rockingham became the county residence of the Lord Lieutenant Lord Dudley. It was destroyed by fire in 1957 and subsequently demolished. Only some of the servants' tunnels as well as other estate buildings remain. The site is now occupied by Lough Key Forest Park.

An earlier house, known as Kingsborough, stood on the site.At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Gethin was in possession of the house at Kingsborough which was valued at £20.

Ballynashee Lodge [Geevagh Lodge]	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Michael Keogh owned Ballynashee Lodge, valued at £22. In 1906 George Keogh was the owner of the mansion house at Ballynashee valued at £22. Lewis also records this house as a seat of the Keogh family in 1837. It is labelled Ballynashee Lodge on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Geevagh Lodge on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s. A later building is still extant at the site.
Annagh Lodge	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Thomas Whitney was leasing a house valued at £12 to Edward Frazer, at Aughnacloy, barony of Tirerrill. In 2006 Annagh Lodge was offered for sale by Raymond Potterton estate agents, in county Meath. The house details claim that Annagh Lodge was built by the Frazer family (from Scotland), around 1800. McTernan, however, notes that the house was reputedly built by a landlord named Hewitson.
Kilronan Castle/Castle Tennison	The house presently occupying this site was constructed in the later 19th replacing an earlier house which had been built c.1820. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house had been valued at £70 and was occupied by Edward King Tenison. In 1814 it was the seat of Thomas Tennison and is recorded by Lewis as the seat of Col. Tenison. In 1894 Slater referred to it as a residence of the Earl of Kingston. The building is still extant and in 2006-7 was converted into a luxury hotel.
