House name	Description
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. It had a number of phases of construction throughout its long history. Formerly known as Pakenham Hall, it has been the seat of the Pakenham family for over 350 years. 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.
Tromra House	Tromra was being leased by Wiilliam Riggs from the Pakenham estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £13. The Valuation Office Books of 1839 indicate Mrs. Mary Anne Riggs was occupying a property valued at £10 at that time. Tromra is still extant and occupied.
Ballyknock House	Ballyknock House, Derrynagarragh, is marked on the first edition OS map at a road junction and named on the 25 inch map and appears to be extant. In 1814 Ballyknock was the residence of Richard McCormick. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) it was valued at £16.10, occupied by Catherine McCormick and held from Richard McCormick. It appears to have been located on the Berry estate.
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. The house remained in the possession of the Pollard/Pollard Urquhart family until the mid-1930s when it was sold to the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary who, in turn, sold it on to the Midland Health Board in 1971.
Barbavilla	Barbavilla House is shown on the first edition OS map as situated in a large demesne with laid out gardens close to the house. It is a nine-bay two-storey over basement house, originally built by William Smyth in 1730. Smyth named the house after his wife Barbara Ingoldsby. The house was later altered by his grandson William Smyth in 1790. In the mid-19th century the house was valued at £72 and held in fee by William B Smyth. In 1906 William Lyster Smyth was the occupant when the buildings were valued at £58.5 and held with 434 acres of untenanted land. The Smyths sold Barbavilla in 1955. The house is now surrounded by large buildings relating to the production of artisan products for Barbavilla Dairy.
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.
Sallymount House	Sallymount House is a three-bay two-storey house with dormer attic, dating from the early 19th century. It was the home of the Rotheram family for much of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Rotherams acquired it from the Nugent family. G S Rotheram was resident in 1837 and Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) records George Rothram as the occupant holding the house valued at £35 from Priscilla Nugent. Members of the Rotheram family owned 560 acres in the 1870s. The estate was acquired by the Land Commission in the early 1960s and the house became derelict but has been restored recently.
Gillardstown	Gillardstown is named on both the first edition six inch and 25 inch OS maps. A Mrs Scully was living at Gillerstown, Castlepollard, in 1814. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Thomas Webb occupied the house, valued at £25 and held from Robert A Ellis. The house was the home of William Evans, a Civil Engineer and Law Agent, and his family in 1901 and of William Hardy, a farmer and his wife in 1911. The house is now the centre of a farming complex.
