House name	Description
Drumcree	Drumcree House was a seven-bay two-storey over basement Palladian country house, built in the mid-18th century for a branch of the Smyth family. In 1814 William Smyth was resident. By 1837 his son Robert occupied the house and Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) records Robert Smyth holding the house in fee. It was valued at £60. By the early 20th century Henry Maxwell Smyth had inherited the property. He was there in 1906 when the valuation had increased to £75. O’Brien writes that the house was abandoned after the death of H M Smyth in 1961 and is now an ivy clad 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.
