House name Description
Moneygold At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Moneygold was leased by the Fawcett family from Viscount Palmerston's estate and was valued at £13. Lewis records it as the residence of the Soden family in 1837. McTernan notes that it was the seat of the family from the early eighteenth century when James Soden leased almost 1000 acres from the Temple estate. In 1906 it was the property of Major G.M. Eccles whose mother was Isabella Soden. The house was damaged in a storm in the early 1960s and subsequently demolished.
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

Kinlough House (Oakfield House) Kinlough House was originally known as Oakfield House and was the seat of the Johnston family from the early eighteenth century. It was remodelled in the 1820s by Robert Johnston and renamed Kinlough House. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Kinlough House was occupied by William Johnston and was valued at £45. In 1906 James Johnston was the owner of the mansion house at Kinlough valued at £43 as well as 220 acres of untenanted demesne land. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association Survey recorded that the house had been destroyed by fire some 20 years previously but that the gardens were still open to the public. Kinlough House is depicted in a ruined state in the Buildings of Ireland survey. Major new housing development is occuring on the site, adjacent to the walled garden.

Brookhill (Rossinver) Brookhill is described as the residence of Capt. Johnston in 1835. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Johnston Sharpe and valued at £10. In 1894 Slater notes that it was the seat of Capt. Forbes Johnston. It is the only Johnston residence still extant. Photo of Brookhill (Rossinver)
Tynte Lodge Joseph Tynte was leasing lands from the White estate and later purchased 30 acres of land from Lord Massy (who had inherited that estate) for the building of Tynte Lodge. The Inventory of Architectual Heritage, however, contends that Tynte Lodge was built in the eighteenth century so perhaps Tynte was reconstructing an earlier building. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property at Tullaghan was valued at £18 and was leased by Tynte to Hugh Montgomery. In 1906 Mervyn Tynte was the owner of the mansion house at Tullaghan valued at £51. Photo of Tynte Lodge

McTernan notes that Lynch acted as resident agent and land steward for the estate. A second house, adjacent to the first, was leased, at the time of the Valuation, to Rev.Malachy Brennan and valued at over £8.
