| Coolure | Coolure was held in fee by Sir Richard Pakenham at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £84. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1775 with a later extension in the 1820s. It was likely built for Captain (later Admiral) Thomas Pakenham on his marriage to Louisa Staples, who were the parents of Sir Richard Pakenham. In 1906 it was part of the estate of Hugh P. Wilson and valued at £24. Coolure is still extant and occupied. Its extensive stable block was located in the neighbouring townland of Lispopple and was valued at £9 at the time of Griiffiths Valuation. |

| Benison Lodge | Benison Lodge, west of Lough Lene, is named on both the first edition six inch and 25 inch OS maps.

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. | |
