| Summerville (Cavan) | Another house located on the west shore of Lough Sheelin. In 1814 James H. Cottingham was the proprietor of Summerville, Mount Nugent. The house was unoccupied at the time of Griffith’s Valuation but in the possession of William Webb. It was valued at £15.10.0. for rates. It was much reduced in size by the time the 25 inch map was compiled. A building still occupies the site. | |
| Fernsborough | Thomas Gosselin was leasing this property from William Shirley Ball’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £25. In 1837 Lewis noted “Fernsboro” as the seat of A. Burrows. It was also recorded as the seat of Alexander Burrowes by Leet in 1814. Fernsborough is no longer extant. Hussey de Burgh noted Thomas Gosselin as the proprietor of almost 300 acres in County Longford in the 1870s. | |
| Creevy House (Longford) | George Dobbyn was leasing this property from the Maude estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £20. It is still extant. |

| Gore Port [Derrymacegan] | In the 1850s Captain Alexander Walker was leasing this property from the Gore estate when it was valued at £15. It is labelled Derrymacegan on the 1st edition OS map but as Gore Port on subsequent editions. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the earlier part of the property dates from the mid 18th century and the later part from the early 19th century. O'Brien suggests that it was Captain Walker who built the later building, c.1835. Sir Samuel Walker, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, 1892-95, was born at Gort Port in 1832. The house is still extant. |
