House name	Description
Clifford	This house was occupied by Richard Martin in 1814 and by Thomas Lloyd in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when he held the property from Edward Beatty. The buildings were valued at £26. Clifford passed by marriage to the Mansergh family of Grenane, county Tipperary and at the time of the sale in 1879 was inhabited by Captain C.S. Mansergh, who held it on a lease dated 1868. The representatives of E. Charles Mansergh of Clifford owned 511 acres in county Tipperary in the 1870s. In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association survey reported that it was the residence of the Walton family nd that the estate had been reduced to 40 acres. This house was recently renovated.
Carrig Park	This early 18th century house was the residence of William Causabon in 1744. By the 1770s it was the seat of a branch of the Franks family, who continued to reside there until the beginning of the 20th century. The house was held by William Hume Franks in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the buildings were valued at £45 but the valuation was reduced to £35.10 shillings by 1906. The house was burnt in the early 1920s and later demolished.
Carrigoon	Occupied by Timothy Collins in the early 1850s and held from Joseph C. Nagle. The buildings were valued at £13. In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association survey noted its association with David Nagle who was MP for Mallow in 1689. The survey mentioned the survival at that time of the stables and coach house. A small ruined portion of this property remains, in an area where extensive quarrying has taken place.
Hunting Hill	Hunting Hill, a single storey house, in the townland of Ballyhimock is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map. Home of the Dwyer family in the first half of the 19th century it was occupied by Mr William Dwyer in 1814 and by Thomas Dwyer at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Located on the Annesley estate it was valued at £15. Various tenants lived at Hunting Hill in the latter half of the 19th century until it was leased to Edward Vaughan, whose descendants continue to live here throughout the 20th century. A house is still extant at the site.
Glenanore/Glananore	Part of this house appears to date from the early 18th century. It belonged to the Verling family, whose interest eventually became vested in the Johnson family. The Reverend Richard Purcell was the tenant in the latter part of the 18th century and Wilson refers to it as his seat in 1786. It was occupied in 1814 by Garret Nagle and by the early 1830s the Hoares were resident. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Mrs Mary Anne Hoare was the occupier, holding the property from Noble Johnson. The buildings were valued at £32. Mrs Hoare was the widow of Reverend Thomas Hoare who was a brother of Sir Joseph Wallis Hoare, 3rd Baronet. In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association Survey asserted that the front part had been constructed in the early nineteenth century but that other parts were much older. It was then the residence of E.J. Hoare and it was still occupied by members of the Hoare family in the 1950s but is now demolished.
Annakisha	The Nangles appear to have held Annakisha from the end of the 17th century and the house may possibly have dated from this time. Pierce Nagle was resident in 1814 and in 1837 and in the early 1850s held the property in fee. The buildings were valued at £22. Sold by Pierce Nagle to the Hamiltons of Castle Hamilton, county Cavan. Hajba writes that the house was derelict by the beginning of the 20th century and it does not appear on later maps.

Castlekevin	Originally a Roche stronghold which was granted to William Thornhill a Cromwellian soldier. It remained the seat of the Thornhill family until the mid 19th century. The old castle was incorporated into a castellated mansion in the 1830s. Lewis writes in 1837 that the ‘present extensive castellated mansion was rebuilt by Mr Thornhill after designs by Mr Flood, in the Elizabethan style’.

Boyce and in the early 1850s by Ellen Linehan who held the property from J.C. Nagle. The buildings were valued at £6. In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association Survey reported that the building was in ruins but it was restored in the late 20th century and is now known as the Nano Nagle Centre, preserving the heritage of the Presentation Nuns worldwide.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation the buildings were valued at £70 and held by Henry M. Smyth from Henry Leader. In 1894 it was the seat of Mrs. Smyth.
