Mistletoe Castle Marked as Eustace's Castle on the first Ordnance Survey map and apparently straddling the boundary between Cooperalley and Greencloyne, this house was the residence of John Conroy Browne in the second half of the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the buildings were valued at £25 and held from William Fitzgerald. J.C. Browne of Mistletoe Castle owned 16 acres in county Cork in the 1870s.

Myrtle Grove Myrtle Grove, a Tudor manor house, associated with Sir Walter Raleigh and the sixteenth-century poet, Edmund Spencer At the beginning of the 17th century it was sold to Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, and later became the property of the Hayman family, who owned it in the 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1837 Lewis writes that it was inhabited by Colonel Faunt. Later occupants include Joseph Wakefield Pim, Sir John Pope Hennessy and the Arbuthnot family. Now in private hands this house is open to the public on certain days in the year. Photo of Myrtle Grove
Odell Lodge/Melrose House Leased by Rev. Thomas Thurtle from the O'Dell estate in 1851 when it was valued at £18 10s.

Rock House (Ardmore) Richard Usher was leasing this property from the O'Dell estate in 1851 when it was valued at £18. Though the building is still visible it is not named on the later 25-inch Ordnance Survey map. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it may once have been three houses that were amalgamated into one property, possibly in the early nineteenth century. It is still extant.

Dysert (Ardmore) Rev. Ambrose Power was leasing a property from the O'Dell estate in 1851 which was valued at £12.

It is labelled as Ardmore House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map and as Monea House on the later 25-inch edition.

Laurentum At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard Coughlan was leasing this property from the Villiers-Stuart estate, when it was valued at £11. It does not appear on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey map but is named as Laurentum on the later 25-inch map. There is still an extant house at the site.
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

Monatray In 1851 Pierce S. Smith [Smyth), a minor, held Monatray in fee when it was valued at £35. In 2013 it was offered for sale. The sale details suggest it was built by Percy Smyth of Headborough as a summer residence in the 1830s. In the twentieth century it was occupied by a religious order and later a country house club before returning to private ownership in the 1980s. In recent years the house name is spelt Monatrae.

There is still an extant building at the site. Photo of Prospect Villa (Kinsalebeg)
