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/
Bellwood	The Reverend Archer was living at Greenwood in 1814. Bellwood is the name given to the house marked in this townland on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. Henry Lysaght was the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation holding the house valued at £11+ from Sir John C. Carden. This building is still a residence.
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.
Woodville	The residence of the Webb family in the 19th century. The house was valued at £49+ in the early 1850s, occupied by Captain Daniel James Webb and held from Sir John C. Carden. Still a fine residence just south of Templemore.
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.
Fortfield House	Located close to Lisheen Castle, occupied by H. Lloyd in 1837 and by William Butler at the time of Griffith's Valuation. William Butler was married to Catherine Lloyd and held Fortfield, valued at £19+, from his father in law John Lloyd. Home of the Everard family since the mid 19th century. see http://www.lisheencastle.com/?page_id=2
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.
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.
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.
