House name	Description
Newpark House (Rathcline)	Luke Bushe Fox held a property in fee here at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, with a valuation of almost £3. The original property in Newpark townland is labelled Newpark House on the 6” OS map. It appears to have become ruinous later. By the end of the 19th century Cordara House had been constructed at a different site in the same townland. It has since been demolished though some estate buildings remain at the site. In 1837 Lewis had recorded Newpark House as the seat of a Captain W.J. Davys.
Cormaglava House	William Lewis was leasing this property from William Montfort [Bond] at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note that the townland was the property of Lady Rosse in the 1830s. A house is still extant at this site.
Ballyorney House	Ballyorney House is labelled on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, the house at this site was leased by John Boswell from Thomas Dennehy’s estate and was valued at £4. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house at the site now was built in the 1880s. It is extant but derelict.
Cordara House	By the end of the 19th century Cordara House had been constructed at a different site in Newpark townland. It has since been demolished though some estate buildings remain at the site.
