Fairyhill	Fairyhill was the home of William Henry Cox in 1837. The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe it as "a large mansion house, the residence of Mr. Cocks [sic]" in 1841. It was occupied by Ellen Robinson in the early 1850s, when the house was valued at £19 and held from Lord Ashtown. Valued at £16 in 1906 and held by George W. Robinson.

Sopwell Hall	Apparently named after an English property, Sopwell in Hertfordshire, which was inherited by the Sadleir family. In 1655 a Cromwellian soldier, Colonel Thomas Sadleir, was granted Kinelagh Castle, county Tipperary, which he renamed Sopwell Hall. This property remained in Sadleir possession until it was inherited by Mary Sadleir who, in 1754, had married Frederick Trench of Woodlawn, county Galway, the parents of the 1st Lord Ashtown. The present house was built by Mary's father, Francis Sadleir, in the mid 18th century. Wilson refers to it as the residence of Mr. Sadlier in 1786. Sopwell Hall was left to Francis Trench, brother of 1st Lord Ashtown, who was living at Sopwell Hall in 1814. In 1837 Lewis records the Trenches in possession and writes that "on the demesne are the ruins of the ancient castle formerly occupied by the Sadleir family". The Ordnance Survey Name Books, in 1840, refer to Sopwell as "a spacious building, the residence of Stewart Trench". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the 2nd Lord Ashtown, son of Francis, was occupying the house, valued at £40 and held by him in fee. By 1906 Sopwell was valued at £80 and occupied by the Honourable Cosby G. Trench. The Trench family were still resident at Sopwell Hall in the 1970s. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books noted that Sopwell was one of the largest demesnes in the country.

In 1906 the representatives of George Whitfield were the occupiers and the house was valued at £36.10 shillings. George Whitfield of Modreeny owned 443 acres in the 1870s. In 1890 his daughter Kathleen married Sir Francis Osborne, Baronet. This house was bought by Donald Swan in 1965 and Charlie Swan, champion jockey, was born at Modreeny in 1968.
Castle Sheppard	The Sheppards were living here from at least the 1770s.In 1786 Wilson refers to Castle Sheppard as the seat of "Mr. Shepherd". It was the home of a junior branch of the family.
