House name	Description
Longfield	The seat of the Long family, occupied by Richard Long in 1814 and in 1837. Bought by Charles Bianconi in the 1840s, he held it in fee in the early 1850s when the house was valued at £27+. By 1906 the house was valued at £37 and was occupied by Mary Anne O'Connell. The house remained in the ownership of Bianconi's descendants until 1968 when it was bequeathed by Mrs Mary O'Connell Bianconi to the Irish Georgian Society.
Clonbonane	Edmund Scully of the Silverfort branch of the Scully family lived here in the first half of the 19th century. By the time of Griffith's Valuation Jeremiah Scully held the house valued at £12 from the Earl of Norbury. This house no longer exists.
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. William Weyland was living at Ballywalter in the mid 19th century, when the house was held from William Cooper and valued at £12.5 shillings. The Waylands and Coopers were related. 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.
Ballymore House	The Murphys were established at Ballymore from the early 18th century. A castle and two houses are located in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation, all inhabited by members of the Murphy family. The main residence was Ballymore House, which was occupied by Edmond W. Murphy. He held the house and 423 acres from the Earl of Norbury. The buildings were valued at £24.5 shillings. Daniel Murphy also occupied a house valued at £12.5 shillings (Grid Ref S021 457). Ballymore House is still a family residence.
Woodford	John Murphy lived at Woodford in 1814 and Edmund Murphy in the mid 19th century when the house was valued at £30.15 shillings and held from Francis Greene. The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe it as "a gentleman's seat situated in a small demesne" in 1841. It is still extant.
