House name	Description
Munga Lodge	At the time of Griffith's Valuation the townland of Munga was owned by John Geraghty. The Frewens later built a two-storey house at Munga and continued to use the house until the 1930s. It is now a ruin.
Cashel	Built by Thomas Hazell for his agent. Hazell was leasing land from the Law Life Assurance Society at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the house was valued at £6. Bought by James O'Mara (1873-1948) circa 1924, who was a Home Rule supporter and later a member of Sinn Fein. He represented South Kilkenny in the House of Commons and in the first Dáil Éireann. In 1952 the house became the home of Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs Browne Clayton. The house is now run as a hotel by the McEvilly family.
Garroman Lodge	Built by Dean Mahon of Westport in 1833 [James Mahon of the Castlegar family, Dean of Dromore] and its situation is described by Robert Graham in his journal of September 1836. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by Patrick Larkin from the Law Life Assurance Society and valued at £1. The Berridge family later used it as a shooting lodge. The house no longer exists.
