Moatfarrell House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Moatfarrell was leased by William F. Ryan from the estate of Edward Murphy when it was valued at £18. In the early 1840 it had been occupied by Laurence O'Rourke. The National Built Heritage Survey suggests the extensive outbuildings were constructed in the mid-nineteenth century and notes that the property was occupied by the Fegan family in the 1890s. The building is still extant.
Bawn House (Longford)	In 1837 Lewis described Bawn House as the property of Mr. Fox but the seat of Arthur Griffith.

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.

A larger house is shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. A house and large farm occupy the site now.

It has, in the past, been operated as a luxury guesthouse

Castlerea (Longford)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, John Bole was leasing Castlerea from the Kirwan estate, when it was valued at £15. In 1837 Lewis had noted Castlerea as the residence of Mrs. Bole. The Ordnance Survey Name Books suggest that the townland was the property of the Jessop estate in the 1830s. The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes report notes it as the property of Charles Webb with a valuation of £15. It is still extant.
Park Place	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Ambrose Bole was leasing Park Place from the Jessop estate, when it was valued at over £27. The National Built Heritage Service dates the remaining walled garden evidence to the late 18th century and suggests that Park Place was the residence of the Moffat family. The Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s note that the demesne was “cultivated by Mr. Robinson, the County Treasurer”. This is likely to be John Robinson, who, according to the Valuation Office Books, was the occupier in 1839, when the house was valued at £16. Family history sources suggest Ambrose Bole was a land agent, who managed the estates of the King-Harman and Shuldham families during the second half of the 19th century. Park Place was demolished in the 20th century but some estate architecture remains.
Crossea	John O’Byrne [O’Beirne] was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at over £10.

A large farm is still extant at the site.
Templemichael Rectory	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Reverend John le Poer Trench was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, when it was valued at £32.

The later house is still extant and in use as a house.
Greenfield House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the mid-1850s, this house was vacant though John Lynch was described as the immediate lessor. The house was valued at £12 at the time. The valuers' records from 1840 indicate that it was then occupied by William Biggers and valued at £13. The house is still extant.
Carrigglas Manor (Carrickglass)	The National Built Heritage Service notes that the current Carrigglas Manor was built in the mid-19th century close to the site of an earlier Carrickglass House.

At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased from the Provost and fellows of TCD by Thomas Lefroy and valued at £90. The demesne remained in the Lefroy family until c.2005. The house is not currently in use.

At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was owned by his representatives and valued at £46. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house was built c.1730 and altered twice in the nineteenth century. It was partially damaged by fire in 1922 and again in 1948. In the later twentieth century it served as a domestic economy training facility operated by the Mercy Sisters. Together with numerous estate buildings it is still extant though not currently in use.

The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention that the demesne contained 38 acres of woodland in the mid-1830s. Leet referred to it as the residence of Richard Fox in 1814. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the house at Foxhall was demolished in 1946. Estate architecture, including the stables, survives
