| Rathcline House | St. George Johnston was leasing this property from Colonel Henry White’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £38. Earlier, in 1837, Lewis referred to it as the seat of L. White. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the current house was built c.1820 though there is evidence to suggest there was an earlier house, also owned by the White family, at the site in the 1770s. Rathcline House served as a convent for the Sisters of Mercy in the mid-20th. It is still extant. |

| Cloonta | Nicholas McGaver held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at almost £12. The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe the property as a 'good farmhouse with trees and plantations' in the 1830s. The 1906 Untenanted Demesnes survey record a valuation of almost £12 when it was owned by Patrick McGaver. It is now ruinous. | |
| 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. | |
| Newtown Parochial House | At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, this house was occupied by Reverend Nicholas O’Flanagan, leasing from Colonel Henry White. The property was valued at £10. The National Built Heritage Service suggests that the house was built at the same time as the adjacent church in 1833, described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books as 'a splendid new chapel'. It is still extant and occupied. |
