House name	Description
Clonwhelan	Richard White held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £15. In 1814 Leet referred to it as the residence of Miss Godley. James Bond was the occupier at the time of the initial valuation in 1839 when it was valued at £12. It is still extant
Baronstown	Baronstown was a large mansion in an extensive demesne on the western shore of Lough Iron, as shown on the first OS map, with many features such as a temple, summer house etc. Described by the National Built Heritage Service as an important late eighteenth-century Palladian villa with two storey wings, it was associated with the Malone Family/Lord Sunderlin. Taylor and Skinner noted it as a Malone property in 1777. Lord Sunderlin was resident in 1814. Following the death of Richard Malone in 1837 his sister Alicia who had married Henry O’Connor of Mount Pleasant, King’s County (Offaly) succeeded to the Baronstown and Shinglis estates. O’Brien writes that the building was burnt twice and rebuilt. The first time in 1889 and the second time in 1903 when it was replaced by a large Tudor villa to designs by James Franklin Fuller. In 1906 it was valued at £70 and was occupied by Colonel John R Malone who held it with 943 acres of untenanted land. Demolished by the Land Commission in the 1920s, it is now a greenfield site.
Tristernagh House	Described as an imposing and dramatic ruin with an interesting and varied history Tristernagh was originally an important Augustinian Abbey, founded c. 1200 by Geoffrey de Costentin (boi). After the dissolution of the monasteries and abbeys it was granted to the Piers Family, Elizabethan settlers. In 1783 Sir William Pigot Piers turned part of the building into a residence, which is named as Tristernagh House on the first edition OS map. It was unoccupied in 1814. A new house/cottage was built to the north of the abbey in the early nineteenth-century which is marked on the first edition OS map (N332 616). It is not clear which of these houses Lewis is referring to as the seat of Sir John Piers Bt in 1837. The 25 inch map of the early 20th century named this later building as Tristeragh House, while the original Tristeragh House at the abbey site was a ruin. Woods writes that the ‘late J Eivers Esq, J.P., lived for years in the cottage built by the late Sir John Piers’ while the mansion built by Sir Pigot William Piers in 1783 was ‘a crumbling ruin’. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) James Evers was recorded as the occupant of a house at Tristernagh valued at £10 held from Hamilton Geale. Shepherd Patrick Garry with family members was living here in 1901 and 1911. They held the house from Colonel John R Malone. The house is still extant.
Rockfield/Cromlyn	A house known as Rockfield (N295657) is named on the first edition OS map at the southern end of Glen Lough. The lands and house were leased to John Crawford by Sir Peter Nugent in 1795. Matthew Crawford was resident in 1814. A later house a short distance to the east was built by the Crawfords in the late 1840s according to the sale rental of 2 December 1862, ‘The house, which is a spacious and well-built mansion erected within the last fifteen years at an expense of upwards of £2,000 … The house contains on the basement-story nine rooms, including kitchen, wine-cellar, scullery etc with every accommodation for servants. There are on the first floor four large reception-rooms, one dressing room, two pantries, bath-room etc. On the second floor, seven commodious and well-proportioned sleeping apartments besides bathrooms etc.’ This house was originally known as Rockfield and was valued at £36 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when occupied by Matthew Crawford. The name of the house may have been changed to ‘Cromlyn’ when it was purchased by Charles John Battersby of Ballinalack in 1862. It is named as Cromlyn on the 25 inch map (circa 1914). The house remained in the possession of the Battersby family well into the 20th century.
Ardglass House	This house was rebuilt in the style of an Italianate Villa post Griffith’s Valuation, possibly incorporating the fabric of an earlier house on the same site. The original Ardglass House was the home of a Major A. P. Bond in 1837. Valued at £13.15 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), it was occupied by the representatives of A P Bond who held it in fee. The present house was in the ownership of William Perry Bond JP, in the 1880s. The house has had various owners in the 20th century and was for sale in 2017, see https://www.businesspost.ie/article/high-class-at-ardglass-co-westmeath/
Daramona House	The National Built Heritage Service suggests this house was built c.1850 by the Wilson family. In later times there was also an observatory at the site. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, it was held in fee by William Wilson and valued at over £28. In 1906 it was owned by John Wilson and valued at almost £73. It is still extant though apparently not in use.
Newpass	Griffiths Valuation notes the owners of Newpass as Elizabeth Westby and the representatives of Sir. G. Fetherson. Elizabeth Westby was the wife of William Westby and the daughter of George B. Whitney of Newpass. The house was unoccupied in the early 1850s and valued at £35. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built c.1775 by the Whitney family, probably on the site of an earlier house. Taylor and Skinner noted it as a Whitney property in 1777. O'Brien states that Colonel Whitney first purchased the Newpass estate in 1670. In 1906 it was owned by Major E. Henry Fetherston Whitney and valued at £43. It is still extant. The estate also owned property in the nearby village of Rathowen.
