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.
Kilfeakle	A home of the Bunbury family in the mid 18th century and later of the Scully family. James Scully was resident at Kilfeacle in 1814. 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.
Mountwilliam	This house was a Bunbury home in the late 18th century. Wilson refers to Mount-William as the seat of Mr. Bunbury in 1786. Jeremiah Scully was living at Mount-william in 1814. James Mahon was resident in 1837 and Denis Dwyer in the early 1850s. The property was held from the representatives of Benjamin Bunbury and the house was valued at £14. This house no longer exists.
Ballinaclogh	A house occupied by William Scully and held by him in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The buildings were valued at £11. William Scully (born 1821) of Ballinaclough was the fifth son of Denys Scully of Kilfeakle. He owned 1,354 acres in county Tipperary in the 1870s. Occupied by T.A. Scully in 1906 and valued at £16.
Dundrum	Dundrum was the seat of the Viscounts Hawarden in county Tipperary in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention that the demesne was well-planted in 1840. Dundrum was held in fee by Viscount Hawarden and valued at £85 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Earl de Montalt was still resident in 1906 when the house was valued at £85. The Irish Tourist Association Survey states that it was bought from the Land Commission in 1908 and became St Michael's Presentation Convent. This early 18th century Palladian house now functions as a hotel located in the grounds of the Tipperary golf club.
Kilmore	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates this house from the early to mid 18th century and the Wayland family were resident at this time. Austin Cooper was living at Kilmore in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation Samuel Cooper was the occupier. He held Kilmore from the Earl of Normanstown and the buildings were valued at £16. This house is still occupied and part of a working farm.
Killenure Castle	Leet records Samuel Cooper as the proprietor of Killenure in 1814 and Lewis in 1837 as the "seat of William Cooper". At the time of Griffith's Valuation William Cooper held the property in fee and the house was valued at £31.10 shillings. The Coopers were still resident at Killenure in the early 20th century. As its webiste suggests "It has been a fortified home with sturdy towers, a'hunting box', a country house for a large family, a busy productive farm with stables and coach house, a boarding school and even a meditation centre". It will be open to the public from Summer 2012. See htp://killenure.com.
Ballywalter	F. V. Wayland was resident at Ballywalter in 1837. Francis Wayland of Ballywalter was murdered in 1838 on his way to a fair.

This 18th century house is still in use as a family residence.
Grene Park	This house dates from the mid 19th century and appears to have been built [for Nicholas B. Grene] post the first edition Ordnance survey map as it is not located on exactly the same site as the previous building. Griffith's Valuation records Nicholas B. Greene occupying a house valued at £29.15 shillings, held from the representatives of Robert Usher. This house still functions as a residence.
Castle View	A house valued at £10 was occupied by Edmond Dalton in the mid 19th century. It was held from Colonel William Dickson.
