House name	Description
Ayle	The home of a branch of the Macnamara family in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was advertised for sale in 1850 and Griffith's Valuation records Joseph Browne as the occupier. He held the property in fee, the buildings were valued at £14. Weir writes that the original house was demolished and that the house now standing which was occupied by the Walshes, agents to the Macnamaras, was uninhabited. see http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/article/0,,568230,00.html
Ballinahinch	A branch of the Molony family appear to have occupied Ballinahinch for some time in the 18th century. Occupied by Cornelius O'Callaghan in 1814 and 1837 and by his son Charles George in the mid to late 19th century. It is recorded as his seat in 1894. By 1906 Ballynahinch mansion house valued at £45 was in the possession of the Gore family. Weir writes that owners left when the "Troubles" began early in the 20th century and the house was vandalised. It was later demolished. The yard buildings remain and are still in use.
Derrymore	The MacGraths had a 17th century home here which was incorporated into the servants' quarters when the Gores built their 18th century mansion. They continued to occupy the house until the early 20th century. The 17th century house and servants' quarters still stand but the rest of the house has been demolished. Some of the stone and stone features from Derrymore were taken to build a house near Drewsborough on the outskirts of Scarriff, Discovery Map 58, R637 836.
Kilgory	The main residence of the O'Callaghan family in the 18th century situated on the shore of Kilgory Lough. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Callaghan. Towards the end of the century the house became the residence of the O'Connells. Colman O'Loghlen married a sister of Daniel O'Connell of Kilgory before 1783. In 1814 Kilgory was the home of Daniel O'Connell and in 1837 Maurice O'Connell was the proprietor. It continued to belong to the O'Connells for the rest of the 19th century. Weir writes that most of the house was demolished in 1928.
Bunavory	A house on the Molony estate, occupied by William Scanlan in the 1850s. The house is now divided into two residences.
Cragg	Home of a branch of the Molony family from the 1730s to the early 20th century. The house is still extant and lived in. It was valued at over £14 in the mid 19th century when it was held by Anne Molony in fee.
Fort Anne	An 18th century house that was in the possession of Robert Westropp, eldest son of Poole and Mary Westropp, by 1814. His son John, who married Maria Macnamara, was occuping the house in 1837 and their son Robert was resident in the mid 1850s. Robert Westropp held the property in fee and the buildings were valued at £25. This house passed into the possession of the O'Callaghan Westropp family. It no longer exists.
Kiltanon	Kiltanon was the home of the Molony family for at least two centuries. The house built in 1833 had a drive which linked it to the other nearby Molony residences at Bunavory and Cragg. The house was burnt in September 1920 and is now a ruin. In the second half of the 19th century another house, known as the Home Farm House, was built at Kiltanon for Marcus Molony, eight son of James Molony and his agent. This house is still extant.
Nutgrove Cottage	Another Molony house in the townland of Kiltanon, occupied by James Robb at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £20, now a ruin.
Maryfort	An early 18th century house with late 19th century embellishments, home of the Westropps. By the early 19th century it was occupied by John O'Callaghan (died 1818) who seems to have moved there from Kilgory. Occupied by his grandson John O'Callaghan at the time of Griffith's Valuation, valued at £35 and held from George Westropp. In the 20th century it was the home of his son Colonel George O'Callaghan who assumed the additional name of Westropp. Weir writes that the house was demolished in 1967 by Colonel Conor J. O'Callaghan Westropp, the last member of the family to live there.
