House name	Description
Castletown	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Fenton was leasing the house at Castletown to George Fenton when it was valued at £10. In 1906 the property at Castletown was owned by Thomas G. Fenton and was valued at £11. It is no longer extant though traces of walls, stable yard and gate lodges are all still visible.
Fortland	Wilson, writing in 1786 refers to "Fortland, pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Easky" as the seat of Mr. Browne. It later passed to the Jones estate. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis in 1837 record it as a Jones property. In the mid nineteenth century it was bought by Richard Graves Brinkley who was leasing it to John Wingfield King at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £14. It was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in 1874 when it was occupied by Mrs. Charlotte Lloyd, presumably a relative of Richard Brinkley's wife, Hester Lloyd. In 1906 it was the property of John L. Brinkley and was valued at £39. McTernan notes that the house was afterwards damaged by fire and partially demolished. Various buildings, including substantial remains of an estate farmyard, survive at this site.
Temple View	The house now known as Temple View was built in the later 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation there was a building at this location owned by Peter Hale and leased to George Fenton. In 1906 Temple View was the property of James Hale and was valued at £32 as well as other buildings in the townland. McTernan states that it had a succession of owners through the twentieth century but has been vacant for long periods. In 2005 it was derelict and for sale.
Bunowna	In 1906 John L. Brinkley was the owner of a property at Bunowna, barony of Tireragh, valued at £7. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James McMunn, MD, had been leasing this property from the Brinkley estate, when it was valued at £8. The property is labelled Bridge House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. It is still extant.
Kilmacurkan	In 1906 John L. Brinkley owned property valued at £20 at Kilmacurkan, barony of Tireragh. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the only building on his lands here was a herd's house valued at 5s. A substantial building is indicated on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s but no trace of this remains now. Local sources indicate that this was a scutch/flax mill, of which the ruins still stand including the traces of the flax ponds, various sheds, etc that are present on the 1890 map.
Finned (Tireragh)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, George Beatty (or Beattie) was leasing a house valued at £5 and almost 100 acres from the Tottenham estate. McTernan states that he was referred to at the time of the Ordnance Survey as a "middleman for a large amount of property". Later the house passed by marriage to the Boyd family who sold it in the early twentieth century. It is still extant and has been renovated.
Roslea Cottage	A house built after the publication of the first Ordnance Survey map. It was leased by Hugh Kivilican from the Brinkley estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. It is still extant though in need of restoration and in 2012 was offered for sale.
Prospect House	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates the building of this house to about 1770. Slater’s Directory records John Thompson of Prospect House in 1846. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation this house was vacant but held by Mary A. Sanderson of Cloverhill. This house is now a ruin.
