House name	Description
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.

Elizabeth Ferrally was leasing the property from the Pakenham estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £9. The Valuation Office books of 1838 also noted her as the owner when the house had a valuation of almost £6. A house is still extant at the site.
Tullynally Castle	The National Built Heritage Service suggests the bulk of Tullynally Castle was built c.1730 but may incorporate the fabric of a house built for Henry Pakenham in the mid-C17.

At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the mid-1850s it was valued at £200 and had the same valuation in 1906. It is still extant and occupied by the Pakenham family.

Wilson's Hospital	Wilson's Hospital School erected on the summit of a hill, was founded by a trust set up by Andrew Wilson of Piersfield [Piercefield].

This was the case by 1743 and the school was completed in 1761. ‘Wilson's Hospital is one of the finest and most sophisticated mid-Georgian buildings constructed outside of Dublin. Its design has been attributed John Pentland, a noted architect of his day, and it is built in the style of a Palladian country house’ (boi). It is a seven-bay two-storey building which was valued at £90 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and continues to function as a secondary co-educational boarding school today.
