House name	Description
Derrynane Abbey	Maurice O’Connell was leasing the property at Darrynane More from the Earl of Cork’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £40. Lewis records it as the seat of Daniel O’Connell, MP. In 1814 Leet notes it as the seat of Maurice O'Connell. in 1906 it was owned by Daniel O'Connell and valued at £35 15s. The Irish Tourist Association Survey gives a detailed description of what it refers to as "the relics of the Liberator" which were kept in the house in the early 1940s. At that time the occupant was Miss Fanny O'Connell, great-grand-daughter of Daniel O'Connell. Bary states that the present house is an extended wing of the original house, built in the mid-18th century, most of which is now gone. The property is now in the care of the Office of Public Works and open to the public during the summer.
Derryquin Castle	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation James F. Bland was leasing a property valued at £29 at Derryquin, from the Guinness estate. Lewis, in 1837, and Leet, in 1814, record the house as the seat of Francis C. Bland . The property was eventually sold by the Blands to the Warden family. In 1906 it was owned by Col. Charles W. Warden and valued at £70. The Wardens resided there until it was burnt in 1922. It was located in the grounds of what is now the Parknasilla Hotel but the ruins were demolished in 1969. See www.parknasillahotel.ie for e-book on the history of this property.
Hollywood	Frederick Hyde was leasing a house valued at almost £10 from the Bland estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis records Hollywood as the seat of the Hyde family in 1837. Frederick Hyde was married to Elizabeth Bland. Bary states that the house was built in the 1830s, possibly on the site of an older house. It was occupied by the Bland family after they sold Derryquin but later fell into disrepair and is now a ruin.
Parknasilla	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £10 to Christopher Bland at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Bary states that some historians believe this to be the original Bland house in the area. In the mid 19th century it became known as the Bishop’s House as it was leased by the Bland estate to Bishop Graves of Limerick. Later still it became the forerunner of the Parknasilla hotel, in which grounds it is still located. A second house in the townland is labelled Clashnacree House [V721649] on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. In 1894 Slater records this latter house as the seat of J.F. Fuller. It is still extant.
West Cove	Edward J. Hartopp was leasing this property at Coad, valued at £14 15s, to Eugene O’Sullivan at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis mentions Castle Cove as the residence of Mr. O'Sullivan in 1837 but he may have meant this house. In 1814, Leet noted Cooe as the seat of John Sesggerson and Bary states that, prior to the O'Sullivan occupation, West Cove was the seat of the Seggerson family. It is still extant and sometimes let as holiday accommodation.
Drimna House	James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £7 to Rev. Arthur Watson at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1906 Col. Charles W. Warden owned a property at Drimnamore, valued at £3 10s. It is still extant.

Castle Cove	Thomas Jermyn was leasing a house valued at £10 10s to John Jermyn at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis describes Castle Cove as the seat of Mr. O'Sullivan in 1837 though he may have been referring to West Cove House. Leet, in 1814, mentions "Cooe Castle" as the seat of David Jermyn, Bary notes that Castle Cove was in the possession of the Jermyn family in the nineteenth century. They were agents for the Bland estate. It is no longer extant.
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.
Rossdohan	In 1906, Samuel T. Heard, MD, owned this property at Rossdohan, barony of Dunkerron South, when it was valued at £27. Bary states that this house was built in 1875 by Thomas Heard, a surgeon who had retired from India. He died in the early 1920s and the house was burned around that time. There are remains of a later house still visible on the island.
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.
Glebe House (Killaconenagh)	Held in fee by Rev. Thomas O'Grady in 1852 when the house was valued at £11 5s. 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.
Lancet Lodge	The Puxley estate owned two houses in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation, in 1852. One, valued at £14 10s, was leased by John Greenway. It is labelled Dispensary on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as Lancet Lodge on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. The house is still extant and occupied. The second property, valued at £10, was leased by Phillip Armstrong. It is not labelled on the 1st Edition Ordnance Map. [Grid Reference approximate]
Dunboy Castle	Noted by Lewis as the residence of J.L. Puxley in 1837 and held in fee by him in 1852, when the property was valued at £50. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the residence of R. 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.
Bayview House (Bere)	William Reid was leasing a property from the Puxley estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at almost £10. This may be the house noted on the later edition Ordnance Survey Map as Bayview House. It is still extant and occupied.
Brandy Hall	Daniel Leah yheld this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation though it is not clear if he was occupying it. It was valued at almost £5. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built c.1830 and altered in the early twentieth century. It is still extant and occupied and has been offered for sale in recent years.
