Hilltown	Hilltown House, built in front of the ruins of a castle, is a three-bay three-storey over basement Palladian country house, built about 1780, possibly by William Webb. It was the home of William Webb in 1814 and in 1837. Valued at £26 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) it was occupied by George Webb and held from Lady Oranmore [and Browne]. Members of the Webb family were still resident in the early 20th century and O’Brien writes that the estate was acquired by the Land Commission. The house is still a private residence.
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.
Annis Grove	This property was valued at almost £10 at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was leased by Patrick Lynch from the Gore estate. O'Brien states that it was occupied by the Lynch family from at least the early nineteenth until the last quarter of the twentieth century. He indicates that it was originally known as Money, from the townland in which it is situated. It is now a ruin.
Tullystown	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s James McCullagh was leasing this property from the Duke of Buckingham’s estate when it was valued at £11. It was still in the McCullough family in 1906 with the same valuation. O'Brien records that Tullystown was damaged by fire in 2013 and gives an account of the various buildings that have existed at this site.
Carlanstown	At the time of Griffiths Valuation Wiilliam McCullogh was leasing this property from the Duke of Buckingham’s estate when it was valued at £13. It is located close to the site of Carlanstown Castle and labelled Carlanstown House on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map. O'Brien suggests it was built c,1830. Both he and the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage provide extensive details of its associations with older structures at the site and the connections with the Nugent family. Carlanstown is still extant and occupied.
Castletown Cottage	At the time of Griffiths Valuation this property was held in fee by Samuel Reynell when it was valued at almost £8. O'Brien suggests that the original property was built c.1840. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates it was extended in the mid C19. The Valuation Office books of 1841 noted a house valued at almost £7 in this townland, then occupied by James Campbell. The house is labelled Castletown Cottage on the 25-inch edition OS map of the early C20. It is still extant and in use.
