House name Description
Moatfarrell House At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Moatfarrell was leased by William F. Ryan from the estate of Edward Murphy when it was valued at £18. In the early 1840 it had been occupied by Laurence O'Rourke. The National Built Heritage Survey suggests the extensive outbuildings were constructed in the mid-nineteenth century and notes that the property was occupied by the Fegan family in the 1890s. The building is still extant.
Ballinree House {Longford) Phillip Kiernan was leasing Ballinree House from the Moore O’Farrell estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £5. A larger house is shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. A house and large farm occupy the site now. This house was associated with the Farrell family in the 18th century as local sources recall "Bonny Pat Farrell" a United Irishman killed at the Battle of Granard in 1798.

Ardagh House (Longford) In 1837 Lewis had identified Ardagh House as the property of G.R. Fetherston. In 1814 Leet recorded it as the seat of Sir T. Fetherston, MP. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was owned by his representatives and valued at £46. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house was built c.1730 and altered twice in the nineteenth century. It was partially damaged by fire in 1922 and again in 1948. In the later twentieth century it served as a domestic economy training facility operated by the Mercy Sisters. Together with numerous estate buildings it is still extant though not currently in use.
