House name	Description
Castlerea (Longford)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, John Bole was leasing Castlerea from the Kirwan estate, when it was valued at £15. In 1837 Lewis had noted Castlerea as the residence of Mrs. Bole. The Ordnance Survey Name Books suggest that the townland was the property of the Jessop estate in the 1830s. The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes report notes it as the property of Charles Webb with a valuation of £15. It is still extant.
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.
Glenmore (Moydow)	Noble Armstrong was leasing this property from the King Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at almost £12. Both Lewis in 1837 and Leet in 1814 referred to it as the seat of Newcomen Armstrong. It is extant but disused.
Mosstown (Ballymahon)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation, in the 1850s, this property was leased by Arthur Kingston from the King-Harman estate. The property was valued at £30 with a mill valued at £50. Lewis referred to Mosstown as the seat of Arthur Kingston in 1837. Mosstown has been demolished but the ruins of the mill and some estate architecture remains.
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.
Toneen	Captain Geoffrey Power was leasing this property from the Slator estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at over £13. In 1837 Lewis referred to “Towend” as the seat of “Jeffrey Keating Power”. The extant house at Toneen dates from the later 19th 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.
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.
Monascallaghan House	This property was described as a herd’s house belonging to the Palliser estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £2 5s. The Ordnance Survey Name Books noted that the townland was part of the Jessop estate. In 1906 it was the property of Dr. J. McCutcheon and valued at almost £3. A house is still extant at the site.
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.
Laurel Lodge (Shrule)	Thomas Hussey was occupying this property at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at just over £10. In 1838 the original Valuation Office books noted the occupant as Edward Nugent. The Ordnance Survey name books of the mid 1830s state that the townland was part of the Ledwith estate. The house is not named on the 1st edition OS map but is labelled Laurel Lodge on the 25” map of the early 20th century. It is now a ruin.
