House name	Description
Derreen	Peter McSweeney was leasing the property at Derreen from the Lansdowne estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6 10s. Lewis also notes it as his residence in 1837. Bary states that Derreen was originally built by a branch of the O'Sullivans from whom it passed to Peter McSweeney who was married to a member of that family. It formed part of the Lansdowne estate and later came into the possession of the Petty-Fitzmaurices. In 1906 it was owned by that estate and was valued at £53 15. It was burnt in the early 1920s but rebuilt in the same style and is still extant and occupied. It is famous for its beautiful gardens.

Glengarriff Lodge	Held in fee by the Earl of Bantry's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9. The house was a specially designed hunting lodge for the Bantry estate.

Adrigole House	Rev. Richard Wright was leasing this property from the Bantry estate in 1852 when it was valued at £9. It is labelled Ardrigole Parsonage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but appears as Adrigole House on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. IN the early 1940s the Irish Tourist Association survey described it as "an old square building completely covered in ivy" and the property of a Mr. Crowley. It is still extant and has been offered for sale in recent years.
Mill Cove (Bear)	Leased by Patrick O'Sullivan from the Earl of Bantry's estate in 1852 when it was valued at £14. Local sources suggest O'Sullivan worked as an agent for the White estate. The house has been demolished though traces of the stone work can still be seen in the gardens which are now part of an art gallery and sculpture display.
Cametringane House	In use at the time of Griffith's Valuation, as an Auxiliary Workhouse, on lease from the Earl of Bantry's estate. The house was then valued at almost £18. Lewis referred to it as the seat of J. O'Sullivan in 1837. In use as a hotel towards the end of the twentieth century.

In 1942 the Irish Tourist Association Survey reported the Glebe House as the residence of Reverend Wolfe and that it had been the birthplace of the well-known author, Standish James O'Grady. This appears to be the house noted as Heathmount by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.

O'Brien Studdert who had married, as his second wife, Maria Puxley. In 1906 the mansion was the property of Henry L. Puxley and valued at £85. The original house was built in several stages, the most recent in the 1860s, close to the ruins of the old O'Sullivan castle, the site of the siege of Dunboy in 1602. The Puxley mansion was burnt in June 1921 during the War of Independence and remained a ruin until the early years of this century. Restoration work has taken place with the intention of converting the house to a hotel but this has not yet reached completion.
