House name	Description
Castleforbes	The National Built Heritage Service suggests the current Castleforbes House dates from the middle third of the 19th century but incorporating the fabric of its 17th and 18th century predecessors. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, it was valued at £80. It was occupied by Lady Forbes at that time. It served as the main seat of the Forbes family, Earls of Granard, since the 17th century. In 1906 it was valued at £110. It is still extant.
Rose Cottage (Clongesh)	John V. Crawford was leasing this property from the Earl of Granard’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £15. It is labelled as Rose Cottage on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps. A later house exists at the site.
Lisbrack House [Bishop's House]	In 1837 Lewis noted Lisbrack Cottage as the seat of Verschoyle Crawford. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, the representatives of George Crawford were leasing this property to James Bell, when it was valued at £15. In 1868 George Crawford and others offered for sale 13 acres at Lisbrack, known as the Cottage holding, in the Landed Estates Court. This holding was occupied at the time by James Bell. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the building on the site now was built in the 1870s with an ecclesiastical purpose but that it replaced an earlier house, possibly known as Lisbrack House. The current building later served as a convent and as a school.
Moneylagan Cottage	In 1837 Lewis referred to Moneylagan as the seat of Dr. Forbes Crawford. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased by General James Hey from John Crawford when it was valued at almost £14. The 1840 Valuation Office books show a £15 valuation. An altered house is extant at the site now.
Lismoy Upper	Mrs. Fitzgerald was leasing this property from the Governors of Mercer’s Hospital at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £18. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the original house was built in the late 18th century but underwent several modifications in the 19th century. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of a Reverend J. Mitchell. Leet referred to it as the residence of Reverend Kilner Davidson in 1814. In the 1870s it was noted as an address for “H. Dundas”. It is still extant and occupied.
Carrickmoyragh House	Thomas Gregory was leasing this property from John Jessop’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at over £6. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the current house was built sometime in the mid-19th century. A smaller house is shown at the site on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838. A larger property is labelled Carrickmoyragh House on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century. It is still extant though not in use.
