House name Description
Strancally Castle John Keily held Strancally Castle in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £61. Lewis refers to it as "a modern castle, seat of J. Keily" in 1837. There is a lithograph and extensive description of the castle and demesne in the sale notice of 1856. After this the castle came into the ownership of the Whitelock Lloyd family. In 1906 it owned by George W. Lloyd and valued at over £63. The 1943 ITA Survey provides a detailed description of the house from that time including the art collection and library. It is still extant and has been renovated in recent years. An extensive farmyard, valued at £37 in 1851, is located in Kilmanicholas townland at X078903. This property was valued at over £40 in 1906.

Knockanore House Rev. Thomas Queally was leasing a property at Knockanore valued at £10 10s from the Keily estate in 1851. It is not shown on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey Map but is labelled Knockanore House on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. The property appears to have fallen into disuse during the twentieth century.
Headborough At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Headborough was held in fee by Mrs. Catherine Smith [Smyth] and valued at £60. Lewis refers to it as the seat of Rev. Percy Scott Smyth in 1837. In 1906 it was owned by Percy Smyth with a valuation of £50. Smith mentions Headborough as the seat of William Smith. In 1943 the ITA survey notes that the stone used in its building was transported from county Kerry. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Headborough
Camphire House Held in fee by Christopher Ussher in 1851 when it was valued at £28. It was the residence of Christopher M. Ussher in the 1870s. Buildings at this location were in the possession of the Ussher family in 1906 and valued at almost £6. In the 1940s the ITA survey noted that it was occupied by Mrs. Chearnley but owned by the Dobbs family and had formerly been a residence of the Ussher family. The Irish Army also seemed to have occupied part of the building during World War II. Camphire is still extant and occupied. Photo of Camphire House

Tinnascart House In 1851 this property was leased by Robert Dower from William C. Poole when it was valued at £14 10s.The 1874 Dower estate sale notice indicates that the house had been built within the previous 15 years at a cost of £2000. It is labelled as Tinnascart House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the later nineteenth century. The location is now a racehorse training enterprise.

Ballynamultina House Francis Kennedy was leasing this property from the Mansfield estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £18 10s.

Clashmore Clashmore was held in fee by the Earl of Huntingdon at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £34. The site marked on the 1st-edition Ordnance Survey map is not that recorded on the later 25-inch map. Smith refers to the earlier house as the seat of Mr. Power and Wilson refers to it as the seat of Richard Power in 1786. The Irish Tourist Authority Survey of the 1940s suggest the later house was never fully completed and by then had all but disappeared. Much of the extensive farmyard, however, is still extant and in use. Photo of Clashmore
