Both Leet (1814) and Lewis (1837) record Portloman as the seat of Lord de Blaquiere. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation John de Blaquiere held the house valued at £18 in fee. When the estate was for sale in June 1866 the mansion house was described as been ‘beautifully situated on the margin of Lough Owel and stands upon a demesne containing about 200 acres Statute measure, handsomely planted, to which is attached a large garden, containing over three acres well stocked, walled in and lined with Brick; Hot Houses, Conservatories etc’. In 1906 the house was in the possession of Colonel David W Stevenson [of Derry]. The buildings had increased in value to £33.10 and were held with 142 acres of untenanted land. This house was destroyed in 1921.
Woodland	Woodland overlooking Lough Owel, named on the first edition OS map and 25 inch map, still extant but now known as Ardilaun House. Lewis records W Moxton, agent to Lord Forbes, as the occupant in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Edward Maxton was resident holding the property valued at £14 from Lord Forbes.

The Murray family have been resident here since the mid-17th century and remain in residence today. The present house is a five-bay two-storey over basement country house, built about 1780 and remodelled c.1820 with the addition of a semi-circular bow to the southeast façade (boi). It was built by Alexander Murray in the late eighteenth-century to replace an earlier Murray house or castle close to the same site. Occupied by Alexander Murray in 1814 and 1837 and by Henry Murray at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) who held the house valued at £46 in fee. William Murray was resident in 1906.
Ballinalee	Henry Reynolds was leasing this property from Reverend George Moore at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £15.

This building is extant but derelict.
Kinturk House	Kinturk House, located just south of Castlepollard, is a five-bay three-storey over basement country house, built about 1760, remodelled and extended in 1821 for William Dutton Pollard (1789-1839) by Charles Robert Cockerell (1788-1863). It was valued at £90 in 1906.

Benison Lodge	Benison Lodge, west of Lough Lene, is named on both the first edition six inch and 25 inch OS maps. O’Brien describes it as a late 18th century, five-bay, two-storey house, probably by the O’Reilly family, one of whom was shot dead in the house in 1803 by the coachman. In 1814 Thomas H Smyth lived here and the Rev T Smyth in 1837. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) John Henry Roper was occupying the house, valued at £30 and held from William P Urquhart of Castlepollard. In the 1870s Henry J Roper of Benison Lodge owned 447 acres. In the early 20th century Richard O’Neill and family were living in a first class house in this townland. The house is now a ruin.

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.

Corboy (Longford)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s this property was leased by Bridget Phillips from the Fetherston estate and valued at £10. The National Built Heritage Service indicates that the house was later the home of John Philips, the last MP for County Longford.
