House name Description
Aughry House Aughry House built after the publication of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was owned and occupied by Charles T. Ward and was valued at £13. Aughry Castle (in ruins) is visible nearby on the 1st edition map. This may be the property referred to in 1786 by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Nesbit. Elaborate modern entrance gates identify Aughry House which appears to be close to the site of the original.
Aghamore House Russell B. Cameron was leasing this property from the Crofton estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £12. A house is still extant though not on the original site.
Georgia At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the Forbes estate was leasing a house valued at £6 to Andrew McCloughesy at Georgia or Gorteenoran. The premises is visible on the early 20th century maps but the site is now occupied by a hotel complex.
Clooncoe House Lewis records "Brooklawn" as a seat of the O'Brien family in 1837. Brooklawn House in the townland of Clooncoo, parish of Cloone, was part of the Clements estate but is described at the time of the first Ordnance Survey as the seat of a Mr. Crawford. It is labelled Brooklawn on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Clooncoe House on all subsequent editions. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of  Clooncoe House
Mount Dillon Lewis writes that the house was situated on an isolated hill and formed "a conspicuous object in the surrounding scenery". Valued at £15 in the mid 19th century. Wilson, in 1786, refers to it as the seat of Mr. Dillon. In the possession of Samuel Russell in 1906 when the buildings were valued at £3. It is no longer extant.
Drumod More At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Catherine Warren was leasing a house valued at £9 to Francis Murphy at Drumod More, barony of Mohill. Extensive redevelopment and road building have taken place in this area though there are still buildings at the site.
Curraghroe At the time of Griffith's Valuation this property was in use as a Constabulary Barracks, valued at £5 and leased from the estate of Theobald Dillon. Local sources suggest the police were withdrawn from the barracks in the late 1860s. In modern times it has become known as Sullivan's Cross. The house is still extant and occupied and in 2014 was offered for sale.
