House name	Description
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.

In 1901 and 1911, the house was occupied by Patrick Connolly, a farmer and mill proprietor and his family. The site is now planted with trees.
Bailieborough Castle/Lisgar Castle	A Scottish planter named William Bailie built a castle here in the early 17th century. It passed into the possession of a number of prominent families Hamilton, Stewart and Corry until it was sold to Colonel William Young in 1814. His son, Sir John Young, later created 1st Baron Lisgar, built a new house on the site in the 1860s. At the end of the 19th century the house was sold to Sir Henry Cochrane and in 1915 to the Marist Brothers of Athlone. Badly damaged by fire in 1918 but reconstructed, the house was eventually demolished in 1942. For image see https://www.archiseek.com/
