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.

D'Loughtane The Ronayne family were resident at D'Loughtane for many centuries. It was lost to the family in the 17th century but recovered through marriage with a Bluett. In the eighteenth century Smith refers to it as "the pleasant seat of Mr. Ronayne". The original house was destroyed by fire and a new one built in the early 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fe by Robert P. Ronayne and valued at £26. The sale rental of June 1851 states that it was erected at a cost of £3,500. Knight writes that it was sold in the Encumbered Estates Court in 1856 to Mr Samuel Allen who sold it later to John Pedder Furlong of Fermoy. Furlong sold the property to the Land Commission in 1910. The house has had a number of occupiers since then and is now owned by the Smiddy family. Photo of D'Loughtane

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.
