House name	Description
Moorbrook	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Moore-field" as the seat of Mr. Moore. Leet's Directory records 'Moorfield' as an 'unoccupied seat' in 1814. The house appears, however, to have become known as Moorbrook as it is thus labelled on the Ordnance Survey maps. Henry Wills held Moorbrook at the time of the sale in 1854. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it is described as a "herd's house" and occupied by Francis O'Grady. It is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. A modern house has been constructed near the site.
Mullaghawny	Charles 'Sturgeon' (Strogen) was resident at Mullaghawny when Leet's Directory was compiled in 1814 and the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the dilapidated state of a mansion house in the townland of Mullaghawny belonging to Charles Strogen. Only a small portion of the buildings are visible on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Coolcronaun	Coolcronan House was built by Edmond Pery at the time of his marriage to Sarah Jane Knox Gore in the mid-nineteenth century. The family owned the property until the 1950s. The Irish Tourist Association File states that it was erected in 1860 by the Knox Gores. It was extensively renovated in the late 1990s and is still extant and available as holiday accommodation.

Creggagh	The house valued at £6 was held by John Fair at the time of Griffith's Valuation but was unoccupied. In 1894 Slater noted it as the seat of Major D.R. Fair. It was occupied in the early decades of the twentieth century but is now a ruin surrounded by forestry.
