House name	Description
Butlerstown House (Middlethird)	Edward T. Power was leasing this house from Richard Duckett at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £11 15s. This house is longer extant.
Butlerstown Castle	The Sherlock family had been in possession of Butlerstown Castle and estate since the 1560s. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Butlerstown as the seat of Thomas Sherlock. In the 1790s a disastrous fire saw much of the property destroyed and subsequently the family moved to county Kilkenny although they continued to hold estates in the area. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was the property of Robert Backas, three generations of whose family lived at Butlerstown, before departing at the end of the 1850s. Between then and the 1880s Butlerstown was occupied by Samuel Ferguson. In 1894 Slater refers to the property as the seat of Thomas Prendergast. Only the ruin of the castle survives but the Coachhouse is in use as Guest Accomodation.
Killoteran House	William Scully was leasing this property from Edward Roberts in 1850 when it was valued at £34. It is still extant and occupied.
Wood House (Woodville)	Thomas McGrath was leasing a house and mill from William Christmas at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the two properties had a valuation of £23. This house is labelled Woodvilla on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but Wood House on the later 25-inch edition. A house is still extant at the site. The mill buildings are described as "in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.
Cullenagh (KIlmeadan)	Mrs. Margaret Gamble was leasing this property from Viscount Doneraile's estate in 1850 when it was valued at £11 15s. A house is still extant at the site.
Fairbrook House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick Stephenson was leasing an extensive mill complex from Thomas Gamble at this location. It is described as Fairvew Paper Mill on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map and as Fairbrook Factory on the later 25-inch edition. The house and mill had a combined value of £95. The buildings are still extant.
The Pines (Darrigal)	Alexander Sherlock was leasing this property to Michael Nowlan in 1850 when it was valued at £13 10s. It appears to have become known as The PInes by the end of the nineteenth century. Recorded as the seat of Patrick Power by Leet in 1814. There is still a house at this site.
Whitfield Court	In 1850 William Christmas held Whitfield in fee when it was valued at £49. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates the house was built by him between 1820-1849, replacing an earlier house. Local sources indicate that this earlier house was in the townland of Whitfield and the name was transferred to the existing house when it was built in the adjacent townland of Dooneen. Leet records the earlier property as the seat of Thomas Christmas in 1814. Smith, writing in 1774, mentions the house as "an elegent seat belonging to Thomas Christmas, formerly a Dobbyn castle". In 1786 Wilson refers to Whitfield as the seat of William Christmas. The nineteenth century house is still extant but no longer occupied.
Pouldrew House	In 1850 Edward Eakers was leasing this property from the Malcolmson estate. The property included part of an extensive mill complex, valued at over £36. It is still extant and occupied.
Pouldrew Mill	This property is closely connected with Pouldrew House nearby. In 1850 it was leased by Edward Eakers from the Malcolmson estate and valued at £95. The mill was demolished in the twentieth century.
Pembrokestown House	The house at Pembrokestown probably came into the Esmonde family through the marriage, in the eighteenth century, of Sir James Esmonde, seventh baronet, to Ellice White, daughter of Thomas White, of Pembrokestown. In 1814 Leet refers to it as the seat of William Power. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, in 1850, it was held in fee by Mrs. Anne Esmonde, and valued at £21. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Patrick W. Power. A house is still extant at Pembrokestown.
Mount Congreve	Built and owned by the Congreve family from the mid-eighteenth century. Wilson states that it was "the pleasant seat of John Congreve" in 1786. Leet refers to it as the seat of Captain Fleming in 1814. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, in 1850, Mount Congreve was held in fee by John Congreve, when it was valued at £68 10s. It is still extant though a sale of the house contents took place on the premises in July 2012.
Knockaderry House	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes Knockaderry as a mid eigtheenth century house. Maurice Ronayne was leasing this property from Viscount Doneraile's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £17. It had fallen into disrepair by the beginning of the twenty-first century.
Ballyduff House (Kilmeadan)	In October 1851, the sale notice for Henry Langley's property at Kilmeadan noted that the demesne at Ballyduff was well planted and the house at a little cost could be put into excellent order. The tenant at the time was John Sadlier, MP. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it had been occupied by John William Langley leasing from Henry Langley and was valued at £9. There is still an occupied house at Ballyduff.
Stonehouse	In 1814 Leet records Stonehouse as the residence of Patrick Duckett. This may be the same property leased by Joseph Power from Osborne Boyce at the time of Grifith's Valuation and valued at £9. The original property does not appear to be extant.
