House name	Description
Cottlestown	The Kirkwood estate was centred on Cottlestown House. The name seems to have sometimes been known as Castletown and this is how it appears on the First ed. OS sheet but documentary evidence would seem to suggest the estate was also known as Cottlestown. The Buildings of Ireland survey states that it is likely that the present house was added to an earlier, probably eighteenth century structure, which in turn replaced the fortified house on the site. On modern OS sheets the townland is known as Cottlestown. This property later became part of the Boyd estate.
Moyview	Moyview was part of the Wingfield estate but was let to other families at different times. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Robert Warren and was valued at £12. There is still an occupied house at this site though McTernan notes that the original house was an eighteent-century single story thatched residence.
Knockroe	Knockroe house was part of the Wingfield estate and at the time of Griffith's Valuation was valued at £12. The property is now part of a farm. The remains of the entrance gates are supported by an iron bedpost!

In the 1830s it is described as undergoing repairs but the family were again occupying it by 1857. The house is recorded as the property of S.L. Lewis in 1906 when it was valued at £37.
