House name	Description
Mountnorth Court	Described by Smith in the mid 18th century as a square building with two wings and fine plantations. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as "the fine and magnificent seat of Lord Lisle, with ample demesnes". This house is described as "in ruins" on the first Ordnance Survey map and modern farm buildings exist at the site now.
Buttevant Castle	Originally a castle of the Barry family, Earls of Barrymore, sold by them in the early 19th century to John Anderson of Fermoy, who restored it as a castellated house and gave it to his eldest son Sir James Anderson. Sir James lived there until the mid 1840s. William Roche occupied the building valued at £37 in the early 1850s. He held the property from Viscount Doneraile and D.R. Browning held a house, flour mill and offices valued at £120 from Roche. The castle had various occupants in the later 19th century and was last occupied in the early 20th century. It is now a ruin.
Springfield	The seat of the Norcott family in the 18th and 19th centuries, occupied by Hugh Norcott in 1814 and by James Norcott at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the buildings were valued at £18. The property was held from the Viscount Doneraile at this time. Sold to the Davisons in 1908, it remained in their possession for much of the 20th century. The house is still occupied.

The house was valued at £20. Hajba writes that in the early 20th century the house was purchased by Sidney Royse Lysaght and following a feud with a neighbour was burnt in 1917. Later rebuilt and still occupied.
Pencil Hill	This house was built in the 1780s by Harmer Spratt who had married a member of the Foott family. It was known as Monte Video in 1837. The Spratt continued to live in the house untill the early 20th century when it was sold to the Perrott family. The Perrotts changed the name of the house to Beechfield and it was still the home of this family at the beginning of the 21st century.

By 1814 Clogheen was occupied by Arundel Hill who was still resident in 1837. Reverend William F. Crofts was the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the property from William Lysaght. It was valued at £31. In 1870 the house was occupied by Mrs Ellen Crofts. This house no longer exists although the outbuildings still stand.
Hazlewood	''Burke's Irish Family Records'' suggests that this was originally an Atkins property which came into the possession of the Lysaghts through marriage. Hajba writes that William Lysaght built the house following his marriage in 1819 to Frances Atkins. Colonel Grove White's notes state that it was built before the marriage. In 1837 it was occupied by William Lysaght and in the early 1850s by Carbery B. Egan who held the property from William H. Lysaght. The buildings were valued at £21. This house remained in Lysaght posssession throughout the 20th century having been sold in 1913 by William Lysaght to his first cousin, Sidney Royse Lysaght. In the 1940s the Irish Tourist Association Survey noted that it was famous for its plant nurseries.

This building was valued at £35 in the early 1850s. From 1903 to 1938 this house was the home of Colonel James Grove White who compiled the work ''Historical and Topographical Notes on Buttevant, Castletownroche, Doneraile and Mallow.'' The house was partly demolished in the mid 20th century.

This house is still extant and occupied.
