House name	Description
Corkbeg	The Penrose Fitzgerald Papers in the Boole Library document the building of a mansion house at Corkbeg in the 1820s. It was built to replace an earlier house mentioned by Wilson in 1786 as the seat of Robert Uniacke Fitzgerald. It was held in fee by the Fitzgeralds and valued at £65 in the early 1850s. By 1906 it was valued at £81. Bence Jones writes that the Fitzgeralds sold Corkbeg in the mid 20th century. The Irish Tourist Association survey notes that it functioned as a hotel for a few years. It was demolished in order to establish an oil refinery.
Trabolgan	Home of the Roche family for over three centuries. Held by Edmund Burke Roche in the mid 19th century and valued at £100. In 1912 acquired by the Clarke family, owners of the tobacco company in Bristol, manufacturers of Players cigarettes. Owned by the Clarkes until the 1940s when purchased by the Land Commission. The Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it was for sale in 1942. The house was demolished in 1982 and the demesne is now an activity holiday centre, see http://www.trabolgan.com/Home.aspx
Hadwell Lodge	Lewis records the Reverend Dr Austen as resident at Hadwell in 1837 [this may have been the nearby glebe house] and J. Penrose at Hadwell Lodge. In the early 1850s the Reverend Robert Austin occupied Hadwell Lodge. It was valued at £50 and held from William Gearin. By the 1890s this property had become known as Hadwell House. It is described as "in ruins" on the 1940 edition Ordnance Survey map.
Aghada	J. Roche occupied this house in 1837. He built Aghada House and had a daughter who married [Henry] O'Brien of Whitepoint and they had a daughter who married her cousin William Roche. William Fitzgibbon was resident at Aghada House at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £35 and held from Henry O'Brien. It was the seat of William de Wilton R. Thackwell in 1894. http://www.archive.org/stream/barrymorerecords00barr/barrymorerecords00barr_djvu.txts
Whitegate House	In 1786 Wilson refers to Whitegate as the seat of Thomas Travers. It was the home of Mrs Gertrude Fitzgerald (nee Blakeney Lyon), wife of Robert Uniacke Fitzgerald, in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valutaion when it was valued at £25 and held from Robert U. P. Fitzgerald. The property passed in the mid 1850s to the niece of R.U. Fitzgerald, Anne Penrose, who was married to Thomas Stewart. Still extant and occupied.
Maryland House	The residence of Joseph Haynes in 1837 and the early 1850s, held by him from William Player at the time of Griffith's Valuation and valued at £20. A cornmill was located closeby. Maryland is no longer extant.
Rose Hill	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Alexander McNab held Rose Hill House valued at £15 with 120 acres from the Marquess of Thomond. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage shows a house at this location dating from the 1890s.
Mosestown	In 1786 Wilson notes a house on the left of Whitegate as the seat of Charles Allen. This may refer to the house labelled "Mosestown House" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Edmund Roche, son of Francis Roche of Rochemount. The house was valued at £21 and held from Edmond B. Roche. Edmund was a distinguished soldier rising to the rank of Major General and married Anna Matilda, daughter of the Reverend Austen, of Hadwell Lodge. In 1894 Slater recorded a house known as Ballymonis as the seat of General Edmund Roche. Mosestown is labelled Ballymonis on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. It is no longer extant.
