Lissadell or Lissadill The Gore Booth family built the first Lissadell House between 1750-1760, in front of the current house. The current house was built in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century and continued to be the home of the Gore Booth family until the 1990s. In 1906 the house and buildings were valued at £347. The house has been open to the public for many years. It is now owned by E. Walsh and C. Cassidy and is being restored.

Streedagh It is likely that Thomas Jones built a house at Streedagh c 1725. However, the present house dates from the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1906 it was the property of Richard W. Jones and was valued at £18. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Streedagh
Mount Temple Viscount Palmerston was leasing a property valued at £3 15s to Edward Parke in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is estimated that the house now at Mount Temple was built c.1860. McTernan notes that the property was originally part of the Soden estate but was leased to the Parkes in the 1830s. They were to continue in occupation until the 1940s after which Mount Temple was acquired by the Land Commission. The house is still extant but derelict. Photo of Mount Temple

Woodville Described in 1835 as formerly having good offices and a well-managed garden but had a deserted looking appearance at that time.

Mount Edward Cottage Both the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books and Griffith's Valuation record a property at Mount Edward as belonging to Capt. James Jones. It had a valuation of £2 in the 1850s.

It is now in a dilapidated state.
