House name	Description
Massy Lodge	This house is named Massy House on the first Ordnance Survey map and was the main residence of Lord Massy in the first decade of the 19th century. In 1814 Anglesborough was occupied by Hugh Toutstone [Touchstone]. Lewis describes Massy Lodge as the elegant residence of Lord Massy. At the time of the first Ordnance Survey Massy Lodge was the residence of Robert Harding. It was held by Lord Massy in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation and valued at £24+. The partly demolished house is now owned by the Hanly family.
Loughananna	At the time of Griffith's Valuation a house at Loughananna was occupied by James McGrath, valued at £10+ and situated on the Kingston estate. By 1906 the mansion house at Loughananna was valued at £50+ and Abel Buckley is recorded as the occupier.
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.
Mitchelstown Castle	The original castle belonged to the FitzGibbons, the White Knight. It passed through the marriage of Margaret FitzGibbon and Sir William Fenton to the heirs of their daughter, Catherine, and her husband, Sir John King. By the mid 18th century the Kings had replaced the castle by a house which was altered and extended over the years. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as "the very magnificent seat of Lord Kingsborough". In the 1820s the 3rd Earl built a new castle in anticipation of a visit from George IV which never happened. This was a huge building in the Gothic Revival style, valued at £180 in the mid 19th century. It remained in the possession of the Kings until the death of Lady Kingston, widow of the 5th Earl. In 1922 the castle was looted and burnt and the stones were later used to build a church at Mount Melleray. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association Survey provided a detailed description of the castle and its history and noted that portion of the cellars and foundations were still visible.
Shanbally Castle	Bence Jones writes that this was the largest of John Nash's Irish castles, built circa 1812 for Cornelius O'Callaghan 1st Viscount Lismore. It was valued at £151 in the mid 19th century. Inherited by two daughters of the Marquess of Ormonde Lady Beatrice Pole Carew and Lady Constance Butler following the death of their cousin the 2nd and last Viscount Lismore in 1898. The Irish Tourist Association Survey in the early 1940s records that the building was taken over by the military authorities "for the duration of the present emergency". Sold by Major Patrick Pole Carew in 1954 and demolished in 1957.
Shanbally	In 1786 Wilson refers to Shanbally as a seat of Viscount Lismore. It was occupied by John Mahoney and valued at £10.15 shillings at the time of Griffith's Valuation, held from Viscount Lismore. In 1894 Slater refers to it as a residence of Viscount Lismore.
Rehill	Rehill was occupied by William Fennell in 1814 and 1837 but by the time of Griffith's Valuation James Mulcahy was resident, holding the property from the Earl of Glengall. The buildings which included a house, offices and corn mill were valued at £62. Sold in 1853 to Robert Murdock and leased by him to Edward Mulcahy. A building is still located as this site.
Ballywilliam	Joshua Sutton lived at Ballywilliam in 1814. In 1851 the estate of William Parry Sutton, a minor, was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court. It included interest in the lands of Shanrahan. The purchasers included Messers. Carroll, Greaves and Mooney, in trust. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James King was resident, when the buildings were valued at £9.10 shillings and held from the Irish Land Company.
Glenbrook Cottage	Thomas Holmes was leasing this property from the Massy-Dawson estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at almost £4. It is not named on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but appears as Glenbrook Cottage on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. It is still extant and occupied. Local sources suggest that the original house dates to the seventeenth century and that the Holmes family called it Clydeingrove.
Mountain Lodge	In the mid 19th century Viscount Lismore owned a house/hunting lodge valued at £7 in the townland of Cullenagh (2,740 acres) which he also owned. This building has since been extended and is still in use as a youth hostel.
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.
