House name	Description
Thomastown Castle	The original building was a two storey house of pink brick built in the 1670s by George Mathew with early 18th additions. Wilson decribed it in 1786 as "an ancient but handsome edifice". In the second decade of the 19th century it was enlarged and transformed into a Gothic castle, designed by Richard Morrison for the 2nd Earl of Llandaff. Viscount Chabot is recorded as the occupier in the mid 19th century. He held the property in fee and the buildings were valued at £100. Bence Jones writes that it later was in the possession of the Daly family but from the mid 1870s it began to decay. William Daly was the occupier in 1906 when the buildings were valued at £61.
Grantstown Hall	The present house is not marked on the first Ordnance Survey map circa 1840. A house in this townland, valued at £10.10 shillings at the time of Griffith's Valuation, was occupied by Charles Massy who held it from [his brother] Henry W. Massy. In 1894 Slater noted it as the seat of Gen. William Massy. The Massys continue to live at Grantstown until at least 1906. Still extant and occupied.

Mrs Scully, [widow of Denys Scully, son of James], was the occupier in 1837 and her fourth son Thomas was resident at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the property from the representatives of B. Bunbury. By the early 20th century Kilfeakle House was in ruins.

In 1814 John Mansergh was the occupant and in 1837 it was the home of his son, Richard Southcote Mansergh. In the mid 19th century the house was valued at £35 and held from Lady Osborne. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Lt. Col. M. Tynte. The house is still occupied by a member of the Mansergh family, Philippa Mansergh, and her husband, John Wallace.

It was built in the mid 19th century as Michael Ryan occupied a house valued at £10.15 shillings in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Michael Ryan of Rathneaveen is recorded in the 1870s and the house is still extant.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation, a property in this townland owned by Southcote Mansergh and valued at £40 was in use as an auxiliary workhouse.
