House name	Description
Bawn House (Longford)	In 1837 Lewis described Bawn House as the property of Mr. Fox but the seat of Arthur Griffith. The Ordnance Survey Name Books note the occupant as Mr. Babington in the mid-1830s. John Daly was leasing the house from John S. Kirwan’s estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s when it was valued at almost £19. In 1906 it was the property of Henry B. Armstrong and valued at £13. There is a ruin at the site.
Mount Jessop	In 1837 Lewis referred to Mount Jessop as the seat of F. Jessop. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was leased by the representatives of Thomas Conroy to Henry Crawford, when it was valued at almost £19. This is the same valuation assigned to it by the original Valuation Office books in 1839 when the occupier was John Jessop. The National Built Heritage Service suggests it was demolished c.1980. A substantial stable block and other estate architecture survives.
Rockspring	In 1837 Lewis referred to Rockspring House as the seat of W. Coates. He was still the occupier recorded in the Valuation Office books in 1840, when the house was valued at almost £9. By the time of Griffith Valuation in the early 1850s the property was being leased by James O’Keeffe from John Cooke. A house is still extant at the site.
Oldtown House (Longford)	James and George Sydserffe were leasing this property from the Gregg estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £25. The original Valuation Office books from 1839 had assigned it a valuation of £14. In 1837 Lewis had recorded “Old Bawn” as the seat of Thornton Gregg. The Ordnance Survey Name Books noted that 'it had a large garden and extensive out offices'. Oldtown House is still extant and in use.
Cordivin	At the time of Griffiths Valuation, Reverend Robert Moffett was leasing this property to James Ganley, when it was valued at £14 and included a mill. It is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on subsequent editions.
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.
Moydow Glebe	In 1837 Lewis noted Moydow Glebe as the residence of Reverend Armstrong. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s it was held in fee by Reverend William C. Armstrong when it was valued at over £20. The house is extant but disused.
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.
Drombaun House	In 1837 Lewis referred to Drombawn as the seat of Peyton Johnson. At the time of Griffith’s Valuaton in the 1850s, the property was leased from the Fetherston estate by Henry Dobson and valued over £5. It is recorded as “in ruins” on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early twentieth century and the site is now occupied by farm buildings.
Corboy (Longford)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s this property was leased by Bridget Phillips from the Fetherston estate and valued at £10. The National Built Heritage Service indicates that the house was later the home of John Philips, the last MP for County Longford. It had later become derelict but redevelopment has taken place at the site.
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.
