House name Description
Grange (Athnowen) Smith records Mr Onesiphorus Phaire as resident at Grange, Ovens, in 1750. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to it as the seat of Mr. Whyte. This house was the home of the Hawkes family in the 19th century, occupied by J. Hawkes in 1814 and 1837 and by John Hawkes in the early 1850s, when the house was valued at £12 and held from Sir John Walsh. A house is still extant at the site.
Lisheens The residence of Richard Donovan at the time of Griffith's Valuation, held from the representatives of John Stevely and valued at £16.
Oriel House Built in the first decade of the 19th century by the Board of Ordnance. The house was occupied by Charles Wilkes, the superintendant of the gunpowder mills until purchased by the Tobins of Liverpool in the mid 1830s. Mrs Tobin was a painter and their residence became known as Oriel House under Tobin ownership. The house has been a hotel since 1983. Photo of Oriel House
Ballinphellic A house valued at £11.5 shillings in the early 1850s, occupid by Bartholomew F. Barter and held from Sir William Chatterton baronet. W. Barter was the proprietor in 1837. A house is still extant at the site.

Greybrook Villa and 50 acres was held on a lease dated 1857 from Samuel Harrison to William Edward Leche and occupied by Edward Corah. Leche's interest was advertised for sale in March 1863 and Corah's in August 1865.
Waterfall Occupied by Austin Esq in the 1770s and 1780s and by T. Austin in 1837. Leased by Edward Austen who held from the representatives of Viscount Midleton in the mid 19th century. The buildings were valued at £14. The house shown at this location on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map has disappeared by the time of the publication of the 25-inch edition in the 1890s. Buildings do still exist at the site.
Castle White Occupied by Whyte Esq in the 1770s Wilson refers to this property as Rochfordstown in 1786. George M. White was the owner in 1837 and held by him in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £35. Lucia P. Hawkes was recorded as the occupier of two mansion houses in this townland in 1906, one valued at £27 and the other at £53. Castle White is still extant.

Ballincollig In 1786, Wilson mentions a seat of Mr.Lloyd at Ballincollig, "near the ruins of the castle". By the time of Griffith's Valuation, this area appears to have been in the possession of Thomas Tobin and the house may have been that leased by Rev. David Horgan, when the buildings were valued at £14. A substantial farm still exists at this site.
Greenfield (Ballincollig) In 1786, Wilson refers to Greenfield, near Ballincollig, as the seat of Mr. Carleton with another house, the seat of Mr. Wetheral, opposite. Greenfield House is labelled on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but is not shown on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Greenfield Upper, across the road, is shown on both maps. At the time of Griffith's Valuation this townland was in the possession of Francis Carleton. Greenfield House was valued at £11 while the second house in the townland was valued at almost £10. Neither were occupied. A building is still extant at the Greenfield Upper site though extensive modern housing has been built in the surrounding area.
