House name	Description
Eden House	Eden House was built later in the nineteenth century. In the 1870s it was recorded as the residence of Galbraith Hamilton. A will and probate grant in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland refers to George Hamilton of Eden in 1862. It is still extant and occupied.
Woodhill House (Banagh)	Rev. G. Tredennick held Woodhill in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £20. Lewis had recorded it as the seat of Major Nesbit in 1837. In 1906 it was owned by General James R.K. Tredennnick and valued at £20. Woodhill is still extant though altered and is now a hotel.
Woodhill B [Wood House](Banagh)	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, a second house, valued at £10 10s, in Woodhill townland was leased from the Tredennick estate by Blakeney Gubbins. In 1858 Blakeney Gubbins was noted in the local press as “late sub Inspector of Revenue Police”. This may refer to a property originally built by Tredennick as a female primary school and later still known as Wood House. It is still extant.
