House name	Description
Lisheen Castle	Lisheen Castle was the home of a branch of the Lloyd family from at least 1837. Altered and extended by John Lloyd, it was valued at £42+ at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held by John Lloyd in fee. The Lloyd family continued to live at the Castle until the 1880s though Slater refers to it as a seat of Mrs.Lloyd as late as 1894. It was subsequently leased and then in 1918 sold to William Bray O'Brien of Ardfort House, Thurles. When the castle was burnt in 1921 it was the property of O'Brien's daughter and son-i- law Camilla and John Francis O'Meara. In 1994 the ruins were purchased by Joan and Michael Everard who have restored the building which now offers luxury castle accommodation. see http://www.lisheencastle.com/
Brittas Castle	The original castle was burnt circa 1820 (Bence Jones) when the owner was Henry Grace Langley. His nephew Major Henry Langley began to build a Medieval Revival castle to the design of William V. Morrison but died when only the gate tower was completed. The Irish Tourist Association surveyor wrote that it was to be a replica of Warwick Castle. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books commented that Brittas Castle was "a modern unfurnished building on a most magnificent scale but in all probability it will never be finished"! In the mid 19th century Henry Langley held the castle valued at £30 from the Court of Chancery. The sale rental of December 1853 records Thomas Kirwan as the tenant of the castle and 464 acres for 7 years from 25 March 1851 pending the cause of Langley v Langley. From 1853 Brittas belonged to the Knox family who lived in a single storey house located behind the gate tower. This house was described as a mansion house in 1906, valued at £25 and occupied by Fitzroy Knox.
