House name	Description
Mount Jessop	In 1837 Lewis referred to Mount Jessop as the seat of F. Jessop. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased by the representatives of Thomas Conroy to Henry Crawford, when it was valued at almost £19. This is the same valuation assigned to it by the original Valuation Office books in 1839 when the occupier was John Jessop. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was demolished c.1980. A substantial stable block and other estate architecture survives.
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.
Williamstown House (Longford)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Williamstown House was leased by William Allen from the Edgeworth estate, when it was valued at £10.
