House name	Description
Ashbrook	An early 18th century house, it was noted by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Moore in 1786. It was occupied by Michael Costello in 1814 and described as in a dilapidated state at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to a two-storey plain featured house with the ruins of a small private chapel closeby, which apparently fell into decay in the early 19th century. Some ruins remain at the site.
Carrowgowan	From at least 1814 the house was occupied by the Deanes who held it from Colonel McAlpine, who held from John Knox of Castlereagh. The house was described as in good repair, with offices, orchard and garden. Daniel H. Mellet occupied the house at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is now demolished.
Oldcastle	Built by the McJordans of Ballylahan in the late 18th century. Slater refers to it as the seat of John Bolingbroke in 1846. There are modern buildings at the site now.
Brabazon Park	Built by George Brabazon in 1777. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as "the fine seat of George Brabazon with beautiful demesnes".Slater refers to it as the seat of George Rutledge in 1846. It was held in fee by Captain Hugh Brabazon at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £30. Sold by the Congested District Board to the Sisters of Mercy circa 1920s, who ran a domestic economy school there for many years. It was demolished in the later twentieth century to make way for the building of a health care facility. Part of the demesne is now Swinford Golf Course and Community Sports Facility.
Dove Hall	This house is labelled Dove Hall on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A larger house, named Belgarrow House, is shown at the site on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. It was occupied by Courtney Strogen and his descendants during the 19th century, held on lease from the Evans family. Occupied by John A. Knox in 1906. Belgarrow is now a ruin.
Thornhill	Home of Charles Burke Jordan in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, he was leasing this property to James Jordan when it was valued at £5.

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.

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.
