House name	Description
Templeport House	Templeport House was built about 1860 on part of the Dobbin estate. It is situated north east of Templeport Lough and may occupy the site of a former herd’s house. Robert Roycroft of Templeport House died in 1881, aged 64 and was buried in Templeport graveyard.
Brackley Lodge	Located very close to the shore of Brackley Lough and originally known as Brackley Lodge, the house was named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). The 25 inch map of the early 20th century records its name as Brackley House. The present smaller house replaced the original building in the 1920s. Brackley was the home of John Finlay in the 1850s and in 1876. The house belonged to the Reverend John Finlay of county Carlow but was not occupied by the family at the time of the 1901 census.
Corville	The Lawder family may have lived in this townland in the early 18th century. Described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a late Georgian house, Corville is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837), located in a small demesne. Like Brackley Lodge it was the home of members of the Finlay family. It was valued at £23.5.0. in the mid-19th century and was occupied by George Finlay who held the property from Sir Thomas Finlay. Francis Finlay, minor, of Corville is listed in the landowners of 1876. By the beginning of the 20th century Corville was the property of Robert Henry Johnston. Thomas Flynn and family were caretaking the house for him in 1901. This house is still well maintained and occupied.
Woodville (Templeport)	Woodville was another Finlay home, built to the north east of Corville circa 1840s. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was valued at £12 and was occupied by Francis Finlay who held it from George Finlay. A building still stands on this site.
Lissanover	Members of the Hume family of Lisanober or Lissanover, Co Cavan (and of Castle Irvine, Co Fermanagh) are recorded in the 18th century, see GO MS 141: 102-104. Robert Hume of Linover died in 1777 and was buried in Templeport graveyard. In the 1830s J. Roycroft was resident at Lisnover and in the 1850s Robert Roycroft held the property from William Blachford. It was valued at £12.10.0. for rates. This house was demolished by the early 20th century.
Owendoon	There was a house called Cottage in this townland marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). Owendoon was built nearby in the late 1850s by George Henry L’Estrange. By the early 20th century Edward Langford Hunt was resident. He died in 1907 and W.M. Hunt of Owendoon in 1925. Owendoon now functions as the Jampa Ling Buddish Centre.
