Oory/Coarsefield | It is probable that the townland of Coarsefield was part of Oory in the 18th century and that Oory was divided into two townlands at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The remains of an old house are still visible at Coarsefield, close to the present house, and it is believed that this was Oory House, home of the Bourkes and later owned by the Nettervilles. In 1814 "Course-field" belonged to James Netterville. The sales rental of the Gray estate of Coarsefield in 1861 refers to one wall remaining of the old Netterville house. |

Ellistron Castle | A Browne castle, a house is marked close by as the residence of the Brownes in the 1770s. In 1786 Wilson refers to Ellistron as the seat of Mr. Browne. However there is no house at this location on the 1838 Ordnance Survey map but an avenue is shown there. | |

Cloontreston | The notice advertising the sale of Michael Francis Treston's property at Cloontooa, barony of Clanmorris states that "the dwelling house with the offices, garden and demesne, known as Cloontreston, is in fair order and condition, suitable as a residence for a gentleman". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the townland was owned by John Treston who also held a herd's house there. The house is labelled Cloontreston on twentieth century maps. Buildings are still extant at the site. |
