House name	Description
Cornashesk House	This house was not built at the time of the first Ordnance Survey in the 1830s. It was erected within the demesne of Fort William and was occupied in the 1850s by David Kellett and held from the trustees of the Marquess of Headfort. It was valued at £10. Home of the Farrelly family at the beginning of the 20th century.
Fort William (Cornashesk)	A house and outbuildings are marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). Leet records Charles Kellett as the occupant of Corna-sesk in 1814. The house, which had expanded, is named on the 25 inch map. Fort William was the home of Robert Kellett in the 1850s, held from the Marquess of Headfort and valued at £14. Fortwilliam, Virginia, was the home of Ralph Harman in 1876. It is still extant.
Lakeview (Mullagh)	The nucleus of this house is believed to date back to the mid-17th century and since that time has remained in the possession of the Mortimer family and their descendants. Leet lists David Mortimer as resident and Lewis records Lakeview as a Mortimer home. Griffith’s Valuation names Charles Mortimer as the occupant and owner. The buildings were valued at £11. In 1906, David A Mortimer held about 500 acres of untenanted land and buildings valued at £11.15.0. Since the mid-1990s Lakeview has been the home of Jonathan and Daphne Shackleton and they have restored the gardens.
Quilca House	Quilca was associated with the Sheridan family. The Reverend Thomas Sheridan was a friend of Dean Swift. In 1725 the Dean wrote some of ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ while staying with the Sheridans at Quilca. In 1814 Robert Doughty was resident and the Reverend Luke O’Reilly in the 1830s. No occupant is given in Griffith’s Valuation when the building was described as a herd’s house and was valued at £5. Joseph Le Fanu was the immediate lessor. A mid-20th century house now occupies the site.
