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.

Clashmore Clashmore was held in fee by the Earl of Huntingdon at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £34.
