| Mountain Lodge/Farmoyle House | This house was originally known as Mountain Lodge but in more recent times the name Farmoyle House has been used. In the 1830s it was the residence of Colonel John Ker, who was succeeded by his nephew William Alexander Williams. In January 1851 the Mountain Lodge estate of W. A. Williams Ker was advertised for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court, with an estate in county Meath. The mansion house was at the time occupied by Mrs Ann Ker, aged 83 years, widow of the Colonel. It was purchased by George Bennie, who held it in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation but was selling it in 1865. By the time the 25 inch Ordnance Survey map was compiled the building was reduced in size and has been further altered in more recent times. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage records the building as unoccupied. |

| Lough Bawn House | Situated close to the shore of Lough Bawn a building at this location has been home to the Tenison family for three centuries. A family member now runs a forestry farm at Lough Bawn. Much of the original house built circa 1760 was destroyed by fire in the late 18th century. The present house dates from the early 19th century and incorporates some of the earlier building with subsequent enlargements. Lewis records the occupant as W. Tenison and Griffith’s records the house, valued at £30, as unoccupied. Still valued at £30 in 1906 when this house was occupied by Major William Tenison. |

| Ann's Fort | Located on the Coote of Bellamont Forest estate and named on the first edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) Ann’s Fort was located in a demesne with bleaching mills ‘in ruins’ nearby. Corn and flax mills are marked on the 25 inch map at these ruins. William Worthy was the occupier of Ann’s Fort and mills in the mid-19th century when the rateable valuation of the buildings was £50. He held the property from James T. Tennant. |
