| 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. |

| 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. |
