House name Description
Ballinlough House Thomas Gosslin was the immediate lessor of Ballinlough House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £18. In 1814 Leet referred to it as the residence of J.C. Irwin. In 1835 the Valuation Office books mention Edward Irwin as the occupier. The building is still extant but no longer in use.

Dalystown House Francis Tuite was leasing this property from the Thornton estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at over £10. In the 1870s it was recorded as the address of Laurence Reynolds. This property is labelled Rockfield House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Dalystown House on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century. In 1906 it was still in the ownership of Laurence Reynolds and valued at almost £23. The National Built Heritage Service suggests 1820 as a building date for the surviving farmyard complex. Dalystown House has been demolished. Photo of Dalystown House
Derrycassan House John Dopping held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £36. Burke suggests it had been a D’Arcy property until the marriage of Alice D’Arcy to Anthony Dopping in the 18th century. It was in the ownership of Capt. J.D.L. Hepenstal and valued at £50 in 1906. Derrycassan House was acquired by the Forestry Service. The house was demolished and some of the stone used in the construction of St. Columba’s RC church not far away. Other estate architecture remains and there are woodland walks in the estate.
Frankford House Reverend Patrick Ratigan was leasing this property from Edward McEvoy’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £14. It held the same valuation when first valued in 1839. At that time it was occupied by Nathaniel O'Reilly. It is not extant now.
Woodville (Granard) Richard Lambert held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £16. In 1839 the Valuation Office books also note Lambert as the occupier of the property which was then valued at £12. The house survived into the twentieth century but is no longer extant.
