House name	Description
Drumgoon	The houses known as Drumgoon, Lahard, Gartinadress and Lakeville are in close proximity to one another and all at one time were homes of the Young family. Drumgoon is located just east of Lahard. In the mid-19th century it was the residence of James Robinson, who held it from Robert Hutton when it had a rateable valuation of £6.10.0. This house is still extant.
Gartinadress House	In 1814, Charles Veaitch was the resident at Gortin-ardrass. This house is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). Although having advertised Gartinardress for sale in 1850 William Young was the owner and occupier at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when the property was valued at £15 for rates. By the early 20th century the Armstrong family were occupying Gartinardress, although in 1906 William A. K. Young is recorded as occupier of 228 acres of untenanted land and the mansion house. This house is no longer extant and the site is part of a forestry area. A house known as Lakeville was also located in the townland of Gartinardress. Leases in the National Library record Lakeville as the home of Richard Young in the 1820s. It was described as ‘in ruins’ on the 25 inch map.
Tully House (Killashandra)	Richard Young of Tully 1808, see GO MS. Richard Young and his wife Bridget Nugent Reynolds later lived at Fort Lodge, on the outskirts of Cavan town. In 1814, Mr R.Y. Reynolds was resident at Tully, Crossdoney. Major Randal Stafford of Tully House, Crossdoney, is listed as a subscriber to Lewis ‘Topographical Dictionary’ (1837). In the 1850s this house was occupied by William Magee who held it from the representatives of Hugh Walsh. The Douglas family were resident at the beginning of the 20th century.
Rockfield (Killashandra)	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates this house to circa 1720. The Irish Genealogist Vol II refers to the will of F. Young of Rockfield, 1777. Situated close to Rockfield Lough it was a Berry home in the first half of the 19th century. Thomas Berry was resident in 1814 and in 1851 (Thom’s Directory). Rockfield was advertised for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in November 1851. A few years later Griffith’s Valuation records Robert O’Brien as the occupant of Rockfield holding it from Oliver Sproul. It was valued at £17. The house is still extant but no longer in use.
Castle Hamilton	In the mid-18th century Castle Hamilton came into the possession of the Southwell family through marriage with a Hamilton co-heiress. It remained in Southwell ownership until about the 1840s. Both Leet and Lewis record members of the Southwell family as resident. Lewis describes the house as ‘a spacious mansion surrounded by an extensive and highly embellished demesne’ adjoining the town of Killeshandra. The buildings were valued at £50 in the mid-19th century, by which time James Hamilton was owner and occupier. The Hamiltons were still resident at the time of the censuses of 1901 and 1911. The house was accidentally destroyed by fire in 1911 but a fine farm yard survives.
Portaliff House	Portaliff House was located on the Castle Hamilton estate, north of Mill Lough and a little south of Killashandra. In the mid-19th century it was occupied by Captain F.H.B. Philips when it was valued at £12 for rates. Portaliff House is listed as a protected structure.
