Oldtown The home of the Bennett family in the 19th century, occupied by Theophilus Bennett in 1814 and by John Bennett in the early 1850s. The property was held from the Cardens and the buildings were valued at £19+ in the mid 19th century. This house was demolished by the early 20th century.
Templemore Abbey/The Priory In 1837 Lewis refers to the Castle at Templemore being the residence of the Carden family "up to about a century ago" when it was accidentially burnt by fire. He states that more recently the Carden family had lived at the Priory, a house marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map and valued at £96+ at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This house was rebuilt in the 1860s and was burnt in the early 1920s. The stableyard is still extant. In 1894 Slater had referred to Templemore Abbey as the seat of Sir John C. Carden.

Eastwood Lewis records Thomas Bennett as the proprietor of Eastwood. James Mason held Eastwood House and 209 acres from Thomas Bennett at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The buildings were valued at £22+. Buildings are still located at this site.
Lloydsborough In 1786 Wilson mentions that Lloydsborough was the seat of Mr. Carden. This house was the seat of the Lloyd family in the 19th century.

Cranagh Located beside a castle of the same name this house was occupied by John Lalor in 1814. Lewis records the property belonging to J. Lloyd but occupied by the Reverend M.N. Thompson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Cranagh was in use as an Auxiliary Poor House and was valued at £25+. The Irish Tourist Association surveyor refers to a 4 storey house built at Crannagh in 1768 by the Lloyd family. The owner in the early 1940s was J. Cullen. This house is no longer in existence.
Castleleiny A house occupied by John Lloyd and his wife Debby Ann in the early part of the 19th century. Henry Jesse Lloyd son of the Reverend George Lloyd of Castle Iny and his wife Anne Hely entered the King's Inns in 1840. By the mid 19th century William Healy was the occupant holding the house valued at £12+ from the Earl of Orkney.
Butler's Lodge In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to Butler's Lodge as "a gentleman's seat" in the townland of the same name. The house is labelled as Butler's Lodge on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but is not labelled on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at over £5 and part of the estate of Edward Cambie. A modern house occupies the site now.
