House name	Description
Kilmainham - The Cottage/Heath Lodge	Lewis refers to Kilmainham as the residence of A. Bell and the house is named as The Cottage on the first edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). By the time of Griffith’s Valuation about 20 years later, Henry Montford was the occupier, holding the property from William Humphrys of Ballyhaise. The building would appear to have been extended by this time as its rateable valuation was £15. The house is named Heath Lodge on the 25 inch map. James Hartley and family were resident at Heath Lodge in 1901 while Hector John Atkinson and his wife Sybil were the occupants in 1911 holding the property from the representatives of James Harley. A building of similar shape still exists at this site.
Riverview/Cloggy House	River View was situated on the bank of the River Erne. It was obviously associated with linen making in the early 19th century as beetling and bleaching mills are both marked near the house on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). A corn mill is also shown nearby. The Faris family were resident in Cloggy from at least 1832 when Alexander Faris is mentioned in the Tithe Applotment Books. In the mid-19th century William Faris was resident holding the buildings valued at £15 from Cosby Thomas Nesbitt. Alexander Faris/Ferris, a farmer and his family were living in Cloggy at the beginning of the 20th century. This house has been modernised and still retains a fine range of outbuildings.
Bellville	The Fleming family were known to be at Bellville from the early 18th century. The house is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) and located facing two forts in a sizable demesne. Belville was the home of A. Fleming in 1814 and of Captain A. Fleming in the 1830s. By the 1850s, the occupant was Jane Kenny who held the property valued at £7 from Major General Fleming. At the beginning of the 20th century Bellville was the home of the Meikle family, originally from Scotland. It is still extant.
Lismore Lodge	Built as the agent’s house in the Nesbitts’ Lismore Castle demesne close to the village of Crossdoney. Lismore Lodge is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). It was the home of William Tatlow in the mid-19th century, when the buildings were valued at £20. Occupied by the family of Thomas Cosby Burrowes at the beginning of the 20th century. His mother Mary Anne Burrowes had succeeded to the Lismore estate in 1886 following the death of her brother Alexander Nesbitt. Under boundary changes at the end of the 19th century the location of the Lodge was changed to the townland of Lismore Demesne and it was valued at £32 for rates in 1906. In the mid-20th century it was a Lucas-Clements home. This house is extant but unoccupied.
Drumcarban	Bence Jones describes Drumcarban as a late 18th century house of 3 storeys and 3 bays. It was the home of the Bell Booth family in the 19th century. George Thomas Bell Booth was resident in the 1830s and 1840s until he was murdered in 1845. Robert Booth Bell was the owner and occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. This house was occupied by Annie Sheridan in 1901, in 1906 by Michael Sheridan when it had a rateable valuation of £22.5.0. and is still extant.
Bingfield	A house built in the mid-18th century by the Venerable Joseph Story, Archdeacon of Kilmore. Occupied by Joseph Story in the mid-19th century, when the buildings were valued at £40. The property was held from Anthony O’Reilly. The Story family were still resident in 1901. Bingfield was sold by Arthur Patrick Story [sometime in mid-20th century, Irish Family Records (1976)]. Many of his siblings went to live in New Zealand. This house is still a fine residence.
Castle Cosby	Castle Cosby was situated close to a small lough of the same name. A number of other country houses were located in close proximity, such as Lismore. J. Whitethorne was resident at Castle Cosby in the 1830s and 1840s. By the mid-1850s Andrew Smith was the occupant holding the property from John E. Vernon. It was valued at £16. In 1876, Philip Smith of Castlecosby owned 77 acres in co Cavan. He married Delia Mary daughter of Corney Banahan of Renny, Co Roscommon and had a number of sons who became doctors. His third son Frederick Paul married in 1905 Isabella Ann daughter of Edward Smith of Bellamont Forest. Castlecosby was mainly known as Kevit Castle under Smith ownership. The house is now demolished but a gate lodge is still extant.
Lismore Castle	An early 18th century house, possibly designed by Sir Edward Lovett Pearce (Bence Jones). Named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837), it was valued at £12 for rates in the mid-1850s. It was a Nesbitt family home until the 1880s when inherited by the Burrowes family and passed from them by marriage to the Lucas Clements in the 1920s. However the house was marked as ‘in ruins’ on the 25 inch map. Bence Jones records that it was later demolished and that the Lucas-Clements resided in the agent’s house nearby Lismore Lodge.
Rockville (Crossdoney)	Named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837), Rockville was located on the Nesbitt estate to the north east of Lismore Castle, on the outskirts of Crossdoney. In the 1830s it was the home of John C. Tatlow and in the 1850s of Samuel Moore, when the buildings were valued at £20 for rates. Occupied by Dr John Stirling Greer and his wife in 1901 and held from Thomas Cosby Burrowes. Another medical family named Hallowes was resident in 1911. Apparently still extant and occupied.

Griffith’s Valuation records William Smith as owner and occupier in the 1850s, when the buildings were valued at £23.10.0. A building of different shape now occupies this site.
Lisnamandra	Lisnamandra was a Sneyd family home in the 18th century. Frances Arabella Sneyd of Lisnamandra married Archdeacon Joseph Story (died 1767) of nearby Bingfield. One of their daughters Sophia married Robert Burrowes of Stradone House. Their grandson, James Edward Burrowes, was the occupant of Lisnamandra in the 1850s. He held the property valued at £20.10.0. from Earl Annesley. However previous to J.E. Burrowes’ occupation Lisnamandra had been the residence of Mrs Elliott in 1814 and of George Burdett L’Estrange in the 1830s. Hugh Hamilton Moore and his wife lived in Lisnamandra in the early 20th century. He was a barrister and Clerk of the Crown and Peace for county Cavan.
