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/
Killoran	Killoran was occupied by Thomas Lalor in 1814 and by Solomon Lalor Cambie in 1837. S.L. Cambie was still the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation holding the property from Richard Thompson. The buildings were valued at £17+. The house is still extant.
Cooleeny Lodge	A house has been located at this site since the first edition Ordnance Survey map of circa 1840. Robert Hunt occupied the house, valued at £11.18 shillings in the early 1850s and held from Henry Langley. A house is still extant at this location.
Brownstown	A house valued at £22 in the early 1850s occupied by Samuel Cooke and held from Captain Gould, original lease dated 31 May 1782. The present house at Brownstown is located slightly to the north east of the original house which is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map.
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.
Long Orchard	The Lalors were resident at Long Orchard from the mid 18th century. A relative, Edmund Dogherty, was the occupier in 1814. In 1837 Lewis records Richard Lalor Sheil as the proprietor. The Ordnance Survey Name Books in 1840 refer to the house as the residence of the local clergyman, Mr. Thomson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation he held the property from Richard Lalor Shiel when it was valued at £11. The Power Lalor family were still resident at Long Orchard in the early 20th century. Mrs Stella Power Lalor was the occupant in the early 1940s but the grounds and gardens had gone "wild" (Irish Tourist Association Survey).This house is now demolished.
