| Ballinwillin | Lewis writes that this house was the occasional residence of the agent to Lord Kingston, reputedly built by Arthur Young who came to Mitchelstown in the 1770s as a land agent. In the mid 19th century Neale Brown was the occupant holding the house valued at £22.15 shillings and 13 acres from the Earl of Kingston. This house is still a well maintained residence. |

| Ballybeg (Mitchelstown) | In 1786 Wilson states that "Ballybeg, the seat of Mr. Spratt, was pleasantly situated at the foot of a lofty mountain" outside Mitchelstown. Local history suggests that this was a property acquired by Devereux Spratt in the 17th century. It is not named on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map though buildings are shown at the site. | |
| Kilshanny | Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Kilshanan as the seat of Captain King. An unnamed property is shown in the townland of Kilshanny on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map which was later to be the site of Mitchelstown workhouse. It is no longer extant. |
