House name	Description
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.
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.
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.
Castlewilder [Cloghdoo House]	Richard P. O’Reilly, MD, held this property in fee at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £30. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it is labelled Cloghdoo House but as Castlewilder on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note that the townland at that time (1835) was the property of Mr. Wilder. In 1814 Leet referred to 'Castlewilden' as the seat of John Mangan. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the house and its complex of estate buildings was built in the 18th century but modified in the 1880s.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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
