House name	Description
Clonmoyle	In 1837 this house was the home of Charles Colthurst, a younger son of John Colthurst and his wife, Jane Bowen. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Jonathon Bruce was the occupier. He held the house valued at £35 from Charles Colthurst. Henry Leader of Clonmoyle, Coachford, owned 2,418 acres in county Cork in the 1870s. The Irish Tourist Association survey of the early 1940s mentions that it was the residence of Mrs.Young, the owner of Clonmoyle Flour Mills and that it had previously been the home of Harry Leader. It is now a ruin.
Dripsey Castle	This house was the home of the descendants of John Colthurst and his wife Jane Bowen from the late 18th to the early 20th century. It is still extant though it was damaged by fire in June 1920. The Irish Tourist Association survey in the early 1940s recounts the boycotting of the family following the Sheehy-Skeffington murder in 1916 and their subsequent departure to live in England. In the early 1940s it was the property of John O'Shaughnessy who also owned Dripsey Woollen Mills. In 2014 it was offered for sale.
Beechmount	Occupied by Dr Godfrey in 1837 and by Thomas Batten who held the property from Henry Lindsey in the early 1850s. A house is still extant at the site.
Peake House	Henry Lindsey was resident at Peake in 1814 and his descendant, Catherine Lindsay, still occupied the house in the early 1850s. She held it from Daniel O'Connor and it was valued at £16. A member of the Lindsay family was still residing at Peake in the mid 1870s. A house is still extant at this site.
Hayfield	A house, offices and mill valued at £22+ was occupied by Henry Lindsey at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from Charles Connell. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it was then occupied by the Carroll family and had been built "about 150 years ago". The original house is not extant now.
Meeshal House	In 1837 Lewis describes the work done at Myshell by Dr Barter “whose demesne of 200 acres, formerly an unprofitable waste, has, since 1826, been reclaimed and brought into a state of high cultivation.” The house valued at £36 was occupied by Thomas Kenyon at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from Henry Lindsey. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it was "formerly a Hydro before the enterprise transferred to St. Ann’s in Blarney". The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests that the current house incorporates portions of the original.
Cottage	Originally a Vize home, later occupied by the Pyne family, J. Pyne was in residence in 1814 and 1837 and the house appears to be unoccupied at the time of Griffith's Valuation, Reverend John Lawless Pine was the immediate lessor. It was valued at £17.15 shillings.
Deeshart	Denis Fielding held a house, office and mills valued at £28 from John H. Colthurst at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This may be the premises labelled "Carding Mill" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as "Dripsey Woollen Mills" on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Industrial buildings still exist at the site.
Kilcullen	Kilcullen House is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map. In the mid 19th century the house valued at £8.15 shillings was occupied by Jeremiah Lynch and held from George Vincent. The Lynchs were still resident in the 1870s.
Clontead More House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Herbert Gillman was leasing a property valued at £14 from Edward Murphy. This house was built after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. The Irish Tourist Association survey refers to "Clontead" as the former residence of the historian, Herbert Webb Gillman,(1832-1898). It is still extant and seems to have become known as Clontead More House.
