House name	Description
Annagh	Annagh was a Dillon home as probably were Glenmore and Lakeview houses also in this townland. There is a building still at the Glenmore site but the other two houses are gone. O’Brien writes that an early 19th century house was built in front of an earlier house and that Dillons lived here from at least the mid-18th century. In 1814 and 1837 Christopher R Dillon was resident and Mary Ann Dillon in the mid-19th century when the house was valued at £10 and held from Lord Ashtown of Woodlawn, County Galway. In the latter part of the 20th century the house was abandoned and is now derelict.
Bellanalack	Bellanalack is marked on the first edition OS map and the later 25 inch map but a much smaller building is now located on the site. The house was occupied by Christopher Adamson in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854). He held the property valued at £13 from Lord Castlemaine.
Belville	O’Brien writes that Belville was built about 1775 for Richard Cuppaidge and by the early 1780s was occupied by the Jones family. It remained the Jones family home until at least the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when Gustavus Jones Junior was resident. The house was valued at £23. It is now a ruin.
Carn Park	Carn Park was built by the Adamson family in the late 18th century. Travers Adamson, son of William Gustavus Adamson was resident in 1814 and W G Adamson in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) the property was in Chancery, Robert Adamson was the occupant and the buildings were valued at £24. On 17 June 1870 when the house and lands were advertised for sale in the Land Court the house was described as a ‘commodious dwelling house (with suitable out offices) on Lot 1, which, although somewhat out of repair, is capable (at a moderate outlay) of being made a comfortable residence for a gentleman and his family. The house is prettily situated on the slope of a hill, commanding an extensive view’. It was bought by the Rev Thomas Thompson Gray of Dorrington, Drumraney, who was Vice Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, 1916-1924. The house was demolished in the mid-20th century.
Moydrum Castle	The National Built Heritage Service states that Moydrum Castle is a Gothic Revival castellated country house built circa 1812 to designs by Sir Richard Morrison (1767-1849), who was commissioned by William Handcock to rebuild an existing house befitting of his new status as Lord Castlemaine. Lewis describes it as ‘a handsome castellated mansion, erected in 1814’. It was valued at £75 in the mid-19th century. The building remained the home of the Castlemaines until it was burnt down on 3 July 1921. A photograph of the remains featured on the cover of the U2 album ‘The Unforgettable Fire'.

They were members of the Society of Friends while caretakers Alexander and Jane Elder for William W Russell were living there in 1911.
