House name	Description
Butlerstown House (Middlethird)	Edward T. Power was leasing this house from Richard Duckett at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £11 15s. This house is longer extant.
Butlerstown Castle	The Sherlock family had been in possession of Butlerstown Castle and estate since the 1560s. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Butlerstown as the seat of Thomas Sherlock. In the 1790s a disastrous fire saw much of the property destroyed and subsequently the family moved to county Kilkenny although they continued to hold estates in the area. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was the property of Robert Backas, three generations of whose family lived at Butlerstown, before departing at the end of the 1850s. Between then and the 1880s Butlerstown was occupied by Samuel Ferguson. In 1894 Slater refers to the property as the seat of Thomas Prendergast. Only the ruin of the castle survives but the Coachhouse is in use as Guest Accomodation.
Killoteran House	William Scully was leasing this property from Edward Roberts in 1850 when it was valued at £34. It is still extant and occupied.
Wood House (Woodville)	Thomas McGrath was leasing a house and mill from William Christmas at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the two properties had a valuation of £23. This house is labelled Woodvilla on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but Wood House on the later 25-inch edition. A house is still extant at the site. The mill buildings are described as "in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.
Whitfield Court	In 1850 William Christmas held Whitfield in fee when it was valued at £49. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates the house was built by him between 1820-1849, replacing an earlier house. Local sources indicate that this earlier house was in the townland of Whitfield and the name was transferred to the existing house when it was built in the adjacent townland of Dooneen. Leet records the earlier property as the seat of Thomas Christmas in 1814. Smith, writing in 1774, mentions the house as "an elegent seat belonging to Thomas Christmas, formerly a Dobbyn castle". In 1786 Wilson refers to Whitfield as the seat of William Christmas. The nineteenth century house is still extant but no longer occupied.
Mount Congreve	Built and owned by the Congreve family from the mid-eighteenth century. Wilson states that it was "the pleasant seat of John Congreve" in 1786. Leet refers to it as the seat of Captain Fleming in 1814. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, in 1850, Mount Congreve was held in fee by John Congreve, when it was valued at £68 10s. It is still extant though a sale of the house contents took place on the premises in July 2012.
Ballyduff House (Kilmeadan)	In October 1851, the sale notice for Henry Langley's property at Kilmeadan noted that the demesne at Ballyduff was well planted and the house at a little cost could be put into excellent order. The tenant at the time was John Sadlier, MP. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it had been occupied by John William Langley leasing from Henry Langley and was valued at £9. There is still an occupied house at Ballyduff.
Carriganard	Two members of the Hartry family, William and NIcholas, were leasing houses from the Lane-Fox estate at Carriganard in 1848. William occupied the house valued at £12 7s while Nicholas held a house valued at £10 [S579089]. The original buildings do not appear to be extant now.
Ballyhoo	William Hurley was leasing this property from the Lane-Fox estate in 1848 when it was valued at almost £12. Modern buildings exist at the site now.
Amberhill House	Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Amber Hill as the seat of Stephen Worthvale. By the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was part of the St. Leger estate and Amberhill was occupied by Stephen Gamble when the buildings were valued at over £8. A farm is still extant at the site.
