House name	Description
Rockspring	In 1837 Lewis referred to Rockspring House as the seat of W. Coates. He was still the occupier recorded in the Valuation Office books in 1840, when the house was valued at almost £9. By the time of Griffith Valuation in the early 1850s the property was being leased by James O’Keeffe from John Cooke. A house is still extant at the site.
Cloonbalt	Hugh Peatton was leasing this property from Reverend Gray Porter at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1860s, when it was valued at £23. In the 1830s the Ordnance Survey Name Books noted it as the seat of Richard Armstrong. In 1837 Lewis referred to “Clonbalt” as te property of the Earl of Belmore. A house is still extant at the site.
Viewmount House (Longford)	Edward C. Hill was leasing this property from Francis Hughes at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £17. It is visible but not labelled on the 1st edition OS map but is shown as Viewmount House on the later 25-inch edition. The Ordnance Survey Name Books described it as 'a good dwelling house with a good kitchen garden' in the mid-1830s. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Cuffe and Pakenham families and dates the original house to the mid-18th century. It has, in the past, been operated as a luxury guesthouse
Ballygarve	At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the early 1850s, Christopher Reynolds was leasing this property from Robert Wybrants. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention a ‘’good farmhouse’’ in the townland of Ballygarve in the 1830s. This property is now derelict.
Bungeggan	The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes survey records a valuation of £12 for this property then in the ownership of Joseph Dooner. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s this was a herd’s house, leased from William Wilson’s estate by Joseph Slevin and valued at almost £3. A stud farm occupies the site now.
Templemichael Rectory	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Reverend John le Poer Trench was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, when it was valued at £32. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1840 on the site of an earlier house. In 1777 Taylor and Skinner indicated that the house at Templemichael was occupied by Dean Ryder. The later house is still extant and in use as a house.
Greenfield House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the mid-1850s, this house was vacant though John Lynch was described as the immediate lessor. The house was valued at £12 at the time. The valuers' records from 1840 indicate that it was then occupied by William Biggers and valued at £13. The house is still extant.
Carrigglas Manor (Carrickglass)	The National Built Heritage Service notes that the current Carrigglas Manor was built in the mid-19th century close to the site of an earlier Carrickglass House. Leet referred to this earlier house as the seat of Sir T. Newcomen in 1814. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased from the Provost and fellows of TCD by Thomas Lefroy and valued at £90. The demesne remained in the Lefroy family until c.2005. The house is not currently in use.
Farraghroe House	Willoughby Bond held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £55. Lewis had also referred to ‘’Farra’’ as his seat in 1837. In 1905 it was owned by James W. Bond and valued at £67. The house was demolished in the 20th century but much estate architecture, including the Steward’s House, remains.
Kilmoyle	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Alexander McCormick was leasing this property from the estate of Captain W. Bond, when it was valued at £7. The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes survey records a valuation of almost £14 for the property when it was still part of the Bond estate. A modern house and large farm occupy the site now.
