Ballinacor	Ballinacor is named on the first edition OS map. This two-storey, five-bay house was erected c 1740 and was the home of the Nugent family who were resident here from the 17th century until the mid-19th century. Referenced on the Taylor and Skinner maps of the late 1770s and occupied by Edward Nugent in 1814. In 1852 James Nugent, Count Nugent, sold the Ballinacor estate to the Halls.

In 1906, Major George C Hall was recorded as the occupant. Bought by the Finnerty family in the early 20th century, the house is now demolished but the main entrance gates remain.
Mount Dalton	Mount Dalton, named on the first edition OS map but on the 25 inch map (c 1914) as Loughazon Hall. It is a six-bay two-storey over basement country house, built 1784, on a rectangular plan. Erected by Count Richard D'Alton (d. 1790) on his return to Ireland following a distinguished career in the Austrian Service but subsequently vacated by him when he took up the post of Governor of the Austrian Netherlands (Lewis 1837 II, 491-2). Lewis describes the house as standing 'on the banks of a fine sheet of water ... formerly the seat of the ancient family of D'Alton ... the house which is now the residence of O W C Begg was built in 1784 by Count Richard D'Alton'. Valued at £16, it was unoccupied at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and the immediate lessor was Thomas Babington.

Mount Dalton is the home of the Brabazon Gibson family.
Forgney House	Thomas Lennon was occupying Forgney House at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £12 and leased from the King Harman estate. It is possible that this is the same property which the valuers recorded as occupied by William Atkinson in 1840 and then valued at over £13. The house is not visible on the 25” map of the early twentieth century and the area is now covered by forestry. Elsewhere in the same townland, a house is labelled Forgney Old House (N205545) on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on later maps.
Gortmore [Longfield] House (Ballymahon)	Arthur H. Griffith was leasing this property from the King-Harman estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at almost £41. The house shown on the 1st edition Ordnance survey map is labelled Longfield House. The expanded range of buildings at the site, shown on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century, is labelled Gortmore House. O'Brien writes that Arthur Hill Griffith built this house c.1840 but that the Griffith family moved to Australia in 1871. He also notes that the previous house, known as Longfield, had been occupied by members of the Langstaff family. In 1837 Lewis referred to Longfield as the seat of J. Langstaff. Gortmore is no longer extant.

It survived into the 20th century but is now a ruin.
