| Carrick Castle | A 16th century house built by the 10th Earl of Ormonde, which was abandoned by the family in the 18th century. Lewis wrote in 1837 “The castle is still a stately building although much of it is in ruins; it was for many years the residence of the Ormonde family, and part of it has been converted into a private residence”. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was vacant and valued at £19. Taken over by the Office of Public Works in the 20th century and restored as a national monument. Now functions as a museum. |

| Curraghmore | The house at Curraghmore is centred on the old medieval tower house of the Le Poer family to which various additions and renovations have been added.

In 1906 it was valued at £200. The 1943 ITA survey describes it in detail, stating that it was one of the finest properties in Munster, if not in all of Ireland.
