| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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 |

| 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 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. |
