House name	Description
Aghavrin House	This house was the home of the Crooke family for much of the 19th century, occupied in 1837 by Captain T. E. Crooke and at the time of Griffith's Valuation by William Crooke. The house was valued at £26 and held from John B. Gumbleton. The Irish Tourist Association Survey of the 1940s refers to it as the residence of Mrs. Scott, nee Crooke, by whose family the house was built. It also rather quaintly notes that “During the troubles of 1919-1921, the IRA often billeted themselves on the premises without any special invitation from the owner”. Aghavrin is still extant and occupied.
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.
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.
St. Olan's	Rev. William Welland was leasing the property from William Crooke at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at over £20. It is labelled St. Olan's Rectory on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map and as St.Olan's on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. In the early 1940s the Irish Tourist Association survey reported that it was occupied by Mr. Devlin, area engineer. The house is still extant and occupied.
