House name	Description
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.
Manor Mill House	William Cox was leasing this property from the Tuite estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £23 and included a mill. It is not labelled on the 1st edition six-inch Ordnance Survey map but appears as Manor Mill on the later 25-inch edition. It is no longer extant.
Lissanure House	Lissanure 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 property at this site was occupied by William Green, leasing from the Tuite estate, when it was valued at £4. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the current building replaced the earlier house in the 1850s. It is still extant but not used.
Grange Hall	The building at this site on the first edition OS map is named Orange Hall and Grange Hall on the 25 inch map with a courtyard and laid out gardens. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Owen Evers or Eivers owned and occupied the house, valued at £16. This property belong to Eugene Eivers in 1870, who owned 107 acres of land in the area at the time. The Eivers were still resident in 1906 and 1911 and the house remains a well maintained residence.
Ballysallagh House	Ballysallagh house is not marked on first edition OS map. It is a three-bay two-storey late-Georgian-style farm house, built about 1850. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) it was occupied by Christina McCormick, who held the house valued at £11 from William Longworth. It is still in use as a residence.
Baronstown	Baronstown was a large mansion in an extensive demesne on the western shore of Lough Iron, as shown on the first OS map, with many features such as a temple, summer house etc. Described by the National Built Heritage Service as an important late eighteenth-century Palladian villa with two storey wings, it was associated with the Malone Family/Lord Sunderlin. Taylor and Skinner noted it as a Malone property in 1777. Lord Sunderlin was resident in 1814. Following the death of Richard Malone in 1837 his sister Alicia who had married Henry O’Connor of Mount Pleasant, King’s County (Offaly) succeeded to the Baronstown and Shinglis estates. O’Brien writes that the building was burnt twice and rebuilt. The first time in 1889 and the second time in 1903 when it was replaced by a large Tudor villa to designs by James Franklin Fuller. In 1906 it was valued at £70 and was occupied by Colonel John R Malone who held it with 943 acres of untenanted land. Demolished by the Land Commission in the 1920s, it is now a greenfield site.
Oran Vale	Located directly north of Ballynacarrigy, Oran Vale is named on the first edition OS map and was occupied by J Irwin in 1837. Valued at £15 it was unoccupied at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) while the immediate lessor was Thomas William West who held the property from Alicia O’Connor Malone. The house is not named on the 25 inch map and is now a ruin.
Willybrook/Willifield	This house is named Willybrook on the first edition OS map and as Willifield on the 25 inch map. Valued at £12 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), it was occupied by Joseph Evers who held it from Alicia O’Connor Malone (in Chancery) and remains a well maintained residence.
Rath House	Rath House, was the home of J West in 1837 and of Thomas West at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), when the buildings, including a corn mill, were valued at £34 and held from Alicia O’Connor Malone. In 1906 the mansion house of Rath valued at £30 was in the occupation of Colonel John R Malone and was held with 62 acres of untenanted land. The census records would suggest that the local rector Rev Venn was actually resident. The house is now demolished.
Tristernagh House	Described as an imposing and dramatic ruin with an interesting and varied history Tristernagh was originally an important Augustinian Abbey, founded c. 1200 by Geoffrey de Costentin (boi). After the dissolution of the monasteries and abbeys it was granted to the Piers Family, Elizabethan settlers. In 1783 Sir William Pigot Piers turned part of the building into a residence, which is named as Tristernagh House on the first edition OS map. It was unoccupied in 1814. A new house/cottage was built to the north of the abbey in the early nineteenth-century which is marked on the first edition OS map (N332 616). It is not clear which of these houses Lewis is referring to as the seat of Sir John Piers Bt in 1837. The 25 inch map of the early 20th century named this later building as Tristeragh House, while the original Tristeragh House at the abbey site was a ruin. Woods writes that the ‘late J Eivers Esq, J.P., lived for years in the cottage built by the late Sir John Piers’ while the mansion built by Sir Pigot William Piers in 1783 was ‘a crumbling ruin’. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) James Evers was recorded as the occupant of a house at Tristernagh valued at £10 held from Hamilton Geale. Shepherd Patrick Garry with family members was living here in 1901 and 1911. They held the house from Colonel John R Malone. The house is still extant.
Rockfield/Cromlyn	A house known as Rockfield (N295657) is named on the first edition OS map at the southern end of Glen Lough. The lands and house were leased to John Crawford by Sir Peter Nugent in 1795. Matthew Crawford was resident in 1814. A later house a short distance to the east was built by the Crawfords in the late 1840s according to the sale rental of 2 December 1862, ‘The house, which is a spacious and well-built mansion erected within the last fifteen years at an expense of upwards of £2,000 … The house contains on the basement-story nine rooms, including kitchen, wine-cellar, scullery etc with every accommodation for servants. There are on the first floor four large reception-rooms, one dressing room, two pantries, bath-room etc. On the second floor, seven commodious and well-proportioned sleeping apartments besides bathrooms etc.’ This house was originally known as Rockfield and was valued at £36 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when occupied by Matthew Crawford. The name of the house may have been changed to ‘Cromlyn’ when it was purchased by Charles John Battersby of Ballinalack in 1862. It is named as Cromlyn on the 25 inch map (circa 1914). The house remained in the possession of the Battersby family well into the 20th century.
Dalystown	Dalystown is marked on the first edition OS map and named on the 25 inch map. It is a detached three-bay two-storey house, built in the early 19th century. Valued at £12 at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), occupied by Lewis Meares and held from John Rotton.
Park Place	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Ambrose Bole was leasing Park Place from the Jessop estate, when it was valued at over £27. The National Built Heritage Service dates the remaining walled garden evidence to the late 18th century and suggests that Park Place was the residence of the Moffat family. The Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s note that the demesne was “cultivated by Mr. Robinson, the County Treasurer”. This is likely to be John Robinson, who, according to the Valuation Office Books, was the occupier in 1839, when the house was valued at £16. Family history sources suggest Ambrose Bole was a land agent, who managed the estates of the King-Harman and Shuldham families during the second half of the 19th century. Park Place was demolished in the 20th century but some estate architecture remains.
Crossea	John O’Byrne [O’Beirne] was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at over £10. The original Valuation Office books record a valuation of £12 in 1839. The Ordnance Survey Name Books suggest the townland was in the hands of Reverend Mr. Oliver in the mid-1830s. A large farm is still extant at the site.
Irishtown	Irishtown is named on the first edition OS map and the 25 inch map. In the late 1770s it was the home of Johnston. The Banon/Bannons lived here in the 19th century. Lewis records J Banon as resident in 1837 and Christopher J Bannon was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854). He held the house valued at £15 from William H Magan. The Banons were still living at Irishtown at the time of the 1901 and 1911 censuses. The house was demolished in the 1960s but outbuildings remain.
Mount Dalton	Mount Dalton, named on the first edition OS map but on the 25 inch map (c 1914) as Loughazon Hall. It is a six-bay two-storey over basement country house, built 1784, on a rectangular plan. Erected by Count Richard D'Alton (d. 1790) on his return to Ireland following a distinguished career in the Austrian Service but subsequently vacated by him when he took up the post of Governor of the Austrian Netherlands (Lewis 1837 II, 491-2). Lewis describes the house as standing 'on the banks of a fine sheet of water ... formerly the seat of the ancient family of D'Alton ... the house which is now the residence of O W C Begg was built in 1784 by Count Richard D'Alton'. Valued at £16, it was unoccupied at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and the immediate lessor was Thomas Babington. Historic connections with the D'Alton family including Count Oliver D'Alton (d. 1799); Ignatius Dillon Begg (d. 1813) and Countess Elizabeth Begg (née D'Alton) (d. 1832); Oliver William Costello Dillon Begg (d. 1848) [of] Mount Dalton Rathconrath (Lewis 1837 xi); and the Brabazon family. Mount Dalton is the home of the Brabazon Gibson family.
Rathcastle	An early 19th century three-bay two-storey over a basement house, named on the first edition OS map. Rathcaslin was the residence of Thomas Banon, in 1837. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) George Murdoch occupied the house valued at £23 from John Devenish Meares. Home of William Brabazon in 1901. It was still in the possession of the Meares in 1906 and is still extant.
Mearescourt	Named on the first edition OS map, this five-bay three-storey over basement Palladian country house was built about 1760, possibly incorporating the remains of earlier buildings, including a Medieval tower house. John Meares died in 1790 leaving his estate to his nephew, William Devenish. In 1814 William Devenish Meares was resident and in 1837 it was the seat of J Devenish Meares, as it was at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when the house was valued at £35. It remained a Meares home until the 1930s. In use as a guesthouse in the early 21st century.
Oldtown	Oldtown is named on the first edition OS map and the 25 inch map. A two-storey, three-bay house built by the Banon family. Occupied by J Banon in 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) by Thomas Bannon who held the property valued at £13 from James Fallon. Oldtown was for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in 1851. The house, described as a comfortable two-story house, fit for the residence of a gentleman, was occupied by Anne, Frances and Maria Banon, (Sale Rental 19 Dec 1851) and was bought by James Fallon, a wine and spirit merchant of Dublin. James Fallon of Oldtown is recorded among the 1876 landowners of the county. The Fallon family were still resident at the beginning of the 20th century.
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.
Tennalick House	Tennalick House was associated with the nearby mill complex. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, it was leased by Stephen Cullen to Robert Diamond and was valued at £10. The mill complex was leased by John McCann & Co. also from Stephen Cullen and valued at £130. The Valuation Office House Books indicate that the house occupied by Robert Diamond was valued at £12 in 1840, while the mills, then held by William McCann, were valued at £62. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the now-ruinous house at Tennalick dates from the early 18th century and may incorporate the remains of a 17th century house. It associates the site with the O’Farrell and Sankey families and later with the Gore estate, 1st Barons Annaly, before its acquisition by the White family, third Barons Annaly, in the early 19th century. Both the house and mills at Tennalick are now ruinous.
Knappoge House	Robert Wallace was listing this property from Colonel Henry White’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £10. A house is extant at the site but may not be original.
Colehill (Longford)	The Ordnance Survey Name Books noted that Colonel White was the proprietor of the townland of Colehill. The house of the same name was leased by a Mrs. Power to Captain Robert N. Bolton at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at almost £18. The Valuation Office House books of the 1840s record Thomas Lennon as the occupier at that time. The National Built Heritage Service dates the original part of this house to the 1760s with later additions in the mid 19th century. It indicates that the house was associated with the Nugent family. It is still extant and occupied.
Lislea House (Ballymahon)	Lislea House was leased by Elizabeth Bickerstaff from the Smyth estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £12. In 1837 Lewis noted it as the seat of J.C. Bickerstaff. It is still extant. Datestones on the estate buildings suggest two phases of development at the site, in the 1820s and the 1860s. Elizabeth Bickerstaff was the owner of over 350 acres in County Longford in the 1870s
Foxhall (Ballymahon)	Richard M. Fox held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £40. The original valuation also noted it as his property in 1839 with a valuation of £39. In 1906 it was owned by the representatives of R.E. Fox. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention that the demesne contained 38 acres of woodland in the mid-1830s. Leet referred to it as the residence of Richard Fox in 1814. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the house at Foxhall was demolished in 1946. Estate architecture, including the stables, survives
New Port (Ballymahon)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Patrick Ross was leasing this property from the Fox estate, when it was valued at almost £9. In 1814 Leet referred to it as the residence of J, Molloy. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention it as a gentleman's residence belonging to Mr. Fox. The house is labelled New Port on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on subsequent maps and is no longer extant.
Newtown House [Newtown Lodge]	Robert Hagerty was leasing this property from the Fox estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s. The house at the site is labelled Newtown Lodge on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. The Ordnance Survey Name Books referred to this as a 'farm house' in the 1830s. A different house at the site is named as Newtown House on the later editions, the name by which it is still known. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the original house was built c.1810. It is extant and well-maintained.
Sleehaun House	This property is not shown on the 1st edition OS map but is labelled Sleehaun Ho on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century. It was occupied by Michael Ledwidge at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £13 and leased from the Fox estate. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built c.1850. It is still extant.
Ballymulvey House	John Shuldham was the owner of an extensive milling complex, valued at £35, at Ballymulvey at the time of Grffiths Valuation in the early 1850s. In 1837 Lewis had also referred to Ballymulvey as a seat of the Shuldham family. The property is labelled Ballymulvey House on the 1st edition OS map but “in ruins” on the 25” edition of the early 20th century when the woollen factory is located nearby. Some ruins of this complex remain at the site.
Antely Cottage	A property labelled Antely Cottage is visible on the 25-inch OS map of the early 20th century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the early 1850s, Robert de Ricci, MD, was leasing lands in this area from the Shuldham estate. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that Antely Cottage evolved from an earlier, possibly 1760s structure on the site. It is still extant and occupied.
Treel House	William Atkinson was occupying Treel House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it and the adjacent mill were valued at £28. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house was built c.1830. In 1839 the original Valuation Books, however, stated that at that time no house in the townland had a valuation of greater than £5 suggesting that Treel House was enlarged after that date. The Ordnance Survey Name Books noted in 1835 that the townland was then the property of Mr. Fox. Treel is still extant though not in use.
Clynan House	Bevan Slator was occupying Clynan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £24. It was leased from William C. Rochfort. In 1840 the original valuation had recorded it as the seat of Bernard Slator with the same valuation. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Coates and Slator families. It is now ruinous.
Creevaghmore (Ballymahon)	Edwin Moore Sandys was leasing Creevaghmore House to William Hogan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £20. In 1837 Lewis referred to “Creevagh” as the seat of R. Sandys. Leet refers to 'Creevagh' as the seat of John Fetherston in 1814. Creevaghmore is still extant. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was built in the mid 18th century.
Lisglassock House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, Grace Robinson held this property in fee when it was valued at almost £25. In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of J.R. Robinson. The National Built Heritage Service suggests this house was built c.1810 and that it was associated with the Robinson family throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1906 it owned by John Robinson. It is still extant. In recent years it has been sympathetically renovated and offers guest accommodation.
Knockagh House [Hermitage]	Francis Kenny was leasing this property from the Robinson estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £12. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it is labelled Hermitage. The Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to “the gentleman’s seat called Hermitage in this townland”. On the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century it is labelled “Knockagh House – in ruins”.
Richmount Hill	John Higgins, MD, was leasing this property from Jane Richardson’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at over £15. In 1814 Leet referred to it as the seat of Auchmuty Richardson. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that this house was built c.1720. It is still extant and occupied.
Corrabola House	Hugh Morrow was leasing this property from the Jessop estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £28. Lyons records the sale of the house and estate in the Landed Estates Court in 1861. The schedule notes that it had been built by Morrow about 20 years previously and provides a good description of the house and demesne. The interest was purchased by the Jessop estate. The sale notice includes a lithograph of the house. A painting of this house, attributed to Arthur Morrow, is held in a New Zealand collection, where members of the Morrow family emigrated to in the 1860s. This house later features as the address of Thomas Alder Cusack, a Dublin solicitor who managed the Jessop estate.
Doory Hall	Doory Hall was the residence of F.T. Jessop at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £50. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the current ruined property dates from the 1820s but that it replaced an earlier dwelling at the site. In 1906 it was owned by Louisa Jessop and still valued at £50. The remains of a large number of ancillary estate buildings area also visible at the site.
Torboy House	Phillip McCutcheon was leasing Torboy from Colonel Palliser’s estate from at least the early 1840s, as shown in the Valuation Office House books. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s the house was valued at over £12. The Landed Estates Court sale notice of 1862 indicates Philip McCutcheon had renewed his lease on this property in 1848. Torboy House is still extant and occupied.
Laurel Lodge (Ballymahon)	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, the property at this site was described as a herd’s house with a value of £4. It was occupied by Edward Phillips, leasing from the King Harman estate. A larger house was later erected on the site and is still extant.
Sunfield House	George Gamerson was leasing this property from the King Harman estate in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. The valuers' original valuation, which also includes a description of all buildings on the site, was over £20. The house is not named on the 1st edition OS map but is labelled Sunfield House on the 25” ed. A substantial farm occupies the site including the original buildings
Clooncallow House	Clooncallow House was occupied by Thomas Bredin at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. He was also noted by the valuers as the occupier in 1840, though his name was spelt 'Braydon' at the time. Thomas Bradon is also recorded as a landholder in Clooncallow in the Tithe Applotment records in 1829. It is still extant and occupied.
Forgney House	Thomas Lennon was occupying Forgney House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £12 and leased from the King Harman estate. It is possible that this is the same property which the valuers recorded as occupied by William Atkinson in 1840 and then valued at over £13. The house is not visible on the 25” map of the early twentieth century and the area is now covered by forestry. Elsewhere in the same townland, a house is labelled Forgney Old House (N205545) on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on later maps.
Newcastle House (Ballymahon)	The extensive property at Newcastle was originally the seat of the Harman family, which came into the King family through marriage. In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of the Dowager Countess of Ross. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was the seat of Laurence King-Harman and was valued at £90. In 1906 it was owned by Col. W.H. King-Harman. It remained in the family until the twentieth century when it was sold to an order of religious sisters. In the later 20th century and again more recently it has functioned as a hotel. A Center Parcs resort is now located in an area of the former demesne.
Newpass	Griffiths Valuation notes the owners of Newpass as Elizabeth Westby and the representatives of Sir. G. Fetherson. Elizabeth Westby was the wife of William Westby and the daughter of George B. Whitney of Newpass. The house was unoccupied in the early 1850s and valued at £35. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built c.1775 by the Whitney family, probably on the site of an earlier house. Taylor and Skinner noted it as a Whitney property in 1777. O'Brien states that Colonel Whitney first purchased the Newpass estate in 1670. In 1906 it was owned by Major E. Henry Fetherston Whitney and valued at £43. It is still extant. The estate also owned property in the nearby village of Rathowen.
Ballincurra House (Rathconrath)	Benjamin Digby held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at £23. The original Valuation Office books had valued the property at £25 in 1850, It had a similar valuation in 1906 when it was owned by William Benjamin Digby. It survived into the 20th century but is now a ruin.
Shinglis House	The 1906 Survey of Untenanted Demesnes indicates John Malone as the owner of a property at Shinglis, valued at almost £32. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows the ruins of Shinglis Court adjacent to this site but the 25-inch map labels Shinglis House a short distance to the north-east. O'Brien provides a detailed account of the evolution of the houses at this site, notably those occupied by the Malone family. He notes that Shinglis was demolished in the 1970s.
Moyvore	Peter Odlum was leasing this property from the Grogan estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £12.
Beech Lawn (Ballymahon)	George Meares was leasing this property from the Grogan estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at almost £17. A house is still extant at this site.
Baltacken House	Abraham Coates was leasing this property from Nathaniel McElthwaite at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £12. It was described as a caretaker’s house with offices.
