House name	Description
Lagaturrin	The house at Lagaturrin was valued at £6 at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was occupied by William Fitzmaurice. William R. Falkiner lived here in the early 1860s. It is no longer extant.
Cloonboy House	The home of John Coghlan at the time of Griffith's Valuation, held from the Lynch Blosse estate when the house was valued at £10. It is still extant.
Cappagh	Cappagh was occupied by James Tighe at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house, valued at £4, is described as a herd's house. It was built some time before the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 and is still extant and well-maintained.
Coarsefield	The Grays were in possession of Coarsefield by the late 1830s. The present house was probably built by the Tighe family who bought Coarsefield from the Grays and sold it to the Stephens family in the early 20th century.
Oory/Coarsefield	It is probable that the townland of Coarsefield was part of Oory in the 18th century and that Oory was divided into two townlands at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The remains of an old house are still visible at Coarsefield, close to the present house, and it is believed that this was Oory House, home of the Bourkes and later owned by the Nettervilles. In 1814 "Course-field" belonged to James Netterville. The sales rental of the Gray estate of Coarsefield in 1861 refers to one wall remaining of the old Netterville house.
Rockstown	Marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map this house was occupied by William Nally at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from the Lynch Blosses. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes its connections with P.W. Nally, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a well-known late nineteenth century athlete influential in the founding of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The house is now a ruin.
