House name	Description
Ballintober (Kilcumreragh)	Ballintober House is named on both the first edition OS map and the early 20th century 25 inch map, but no longer appears to be extant. In 1837 William Fetherstonhaugh was resident and in the mid-19th century it was the home of James Fetherston Haugh, held from Dorothea Horton and valued at £20. In the 1870s James Fetherstonhaugh of Ballintober owned 39 acres in county Westmeath. Ballintober was still in Fetherston Haugh occupation in 1901 but unoccupied by 1911. This was a branch of the Mosstown and Bracklyn Fetherstonhaugh family.
Rosemount House/Oldcourt	Rose Mount House is also known as Old Court, both names appear on the OS maps. The village nearby is known as Rosemount. Described by buildings of Ireland as a well-balanced structure originally built by the Geoghegan Family in the late eighteenth-century, probably replacing an earlier house. Leet records John Pim occupying a house named Rosemount near Moate in 1814 and Lewis records Lady Nagle as the occupant in 1837. O’Brien writes that it was inherited by the Nugent family of Ballinacor through marriage. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was occupied by John J Nugent who held it from the representatives of Sir Richard Nagle. It was valued at £21.10. Still extant and occupied.
Grouse Lodge	Grouse Lodge is named on both the first 6 inch and 25 inch OS maps.

Grouse Lodge was built by a branch of the Fetherstonhaugh Family of Ardagh, County Longford and was occupied by Theodore Fetherston in 1814 and by William Fetherstonhaugh at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The building valued at £24 was held from Edward Fetherstonhaugh, who was the occupant in 1837. It is still a family home.
Moyvoughly	Moyvoughly named Moyvoughly Lodge on the first edition OS map and Moyvoughly House on the 25 inch map. O’Brien writes that this was originally Arabin land purchased towards the end of the 18th century by the Grogans. This house was constructed by 1837 as C Arabin was resident, who was probably leasing it from the Grogans. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) John Ennis had acquired the house and lands as he is recorded as holding the property in fee . O’Brien writes that he rented the house to William Dargan, the railway entrepreneur, who was building the Mullingar to Dublin railway line and that the land was used to graze and accommodate the horses used in this work. In the mid-1850s Moyvougly was leased to Thomas Maher who eventually purchased the estate. Bought by the Fallon family in the 20th century, the house is now demolished but some outbuildings and stables survive.

At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) James Hill Shaw held the house valued at £15 from George A Boyd.

O’Brien writes that Mosstown was originally a property belonging to the Judge family and was sold to Cuthbert Fetherstonhaugh in 1790 and he was recorded as occupant in 1814. In 1837 it was recorded as ‘the principal seat’ of the parish ‘the handsome residence of Theobald Fetherston H.’ It remained a Fethetstonhaugh property until sold to William Dargan in the Encumbered Estates Court in 1851 (O’Brien). At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) it was valued at £40 and occupied by Thomas Smith who held it from William Dargan. Later this house was occupied by members of the Fosberry and Adamson families. In 1906 George A G Adamson was the occupant. The house was destroyed by fire in 1938 and is now a green field site.
