House name Description
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. Photo of Annagh Lodge
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.
