Annagh Annagh was a Dillon home as probably were Glenmore and Lakeview houses also in this townland. There is a building still at the Glenmore site but the other two houses are gone. O’Brien writes that an early 19th century house was built in front of an earlier house and that Dillons lived here from at least the mid-18th century. In 1814 and 1837 Christopher R Dillon was resident and Mary Ann Dillon in the mid-19th century when the house was valued at £10 and held from Lord Ashtown of Woodlawn, County Galway. In the latter part of the 20th century the house was abandoned and is now derelict.
Auburn Auburn - Detached five-bay two-storey over raised basement house, built or rebuilt in the early 19th century (boi) This house takes its name from the Goldsmith Poem ‘The Deserted Village’, which was apparently inspired by the countryside surrounding this property where Goldsmith grew up as a boy. Auburn House was reputedly remodeled in the early nineteenth-century by John Hogan, whose father, a solicitor, acquired the property and estate from the Naper Family (of Loughcrew, Oldcastle, Co. Meath) in settlement of legal costs. J Hogan was the occupant in 1837. It was later sold to William Henry Daniel c.1848 and later to G.A.G. Adamson in 1864. In 1906 the buildings were valued at £34 and Charles G Adamson was the occupier. The Adamson family continued to reside at Auburn until about 1980. The house is now a ruin. Photo of Auburn
Easthill House Detached three-bay early nineteenth-century Regency villa, built in 1803. This house was originally built by a branch of the Handcock-Temple family of nearby Waterstown House and by 1814 was the home of Richard Cuppaidge, who is also recorded in 1837 as the occupant. John Cuppaidge was resident at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The house was the property of the Clynes, Dolan and O’Shea families in the 20th century. Photo of Easthill House
Harmony Hall O’Brien writes that Harmony hall was built in 1788 by Colonel William Caulfield, a member of a branch of the Caulfield family, Earls of Charlemont. In 1842, Colonel John Caulfield sold the house to Arthur Dunn Chaigneau and purchased Bloomfield House, Mullingar.

Waterstown House This Palladian style country house on rectangular plan, constructed c.1745 was designed by the German architect Richard Castle (1695-1751) for Gustavus Handcock and his wife Elizabeth Temple. It has important historical connections with the Temple-Handcock family, who were originally granted the lands around Waterstown as payment for services to the Crown during the Cromwellian Wars (boi). Robert Handcock Temple was resident in 1814 and 1837. Valued at £47 in the mid-19th century it was occupied by Robert Holmes. The buildings had increased in value to £61.15 in 1906. It remained within the Temple-Handcock family until mid-1923 when they sold the estate to the Land Commission. In 1928 the pedimented doorcase at Waterstown was removed and re-erected at Lissglassick House (Longford) and the house became a ruin in the 1930s. Photo of Waterstown House
Belville O’Brien writes that Belville was built about 1775 for Richard Cuppaidge and by the early 1780s was occupied by the Jones family. It remained the Jones family home until at least the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when Gustavus Jones Junior was resident. The house was valued at £23. It is now a ruin.

At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) the property was in Chancery, Robert Adamson was the occupant and the buildings were valued at £24. On 17 June 1870 when the house and lands were advertised for sale in the Land Court the house was described as a ‘commodious dwelling house (with suitable out offices) on Lot 1, which, although somewhat out of repair, is capable (at a moderate outlay) of being made a comfortable residence for a gentleman and his family. The house is prettily situated on the slope of a hill, commanding an extensive view’. It was bought by the Rev Thomas Thompson Gray of Dorrington, Drumraney, who was Vice Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, 1916-1924. The house was demolished in the mid-20th century.

Moyvoughly Moyvoughly named Moyvoughly Lodge on the first edition OS map and Moyvoughly House on the 25 inch map. O’Brien writes that this was originally Arabin land purchased towards the end of the 18th century by the Grogans. This house was constructed by 1837 as C Arabin was resident, who was probably leasing it from the Grogans. By the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) John Ennis had acquired the house and lands as he is recorded as holding the property in fee .

In the mid-1850s Moyvougly was leased to Thomas Maher who eventually purchased the estate. Bought by the Fallon family in the 20th century, the house is now demolished but some outbuildings and stables survive. Photo of Moyvoughly

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. The sale rental describes the house as ‘large and commodious and in perfect habitable order’. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) Charles Hall held the house valued at £23 in fee.

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.
Ballymulvey House John Shuldham was the owner of an extensive milling complex, valued at £35, at Ballymulvey at the time of Grffiths Valuation in the early 1850s. In 1837 Lewis had also referred to Ballymulvey as a seat of the Shuldham 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.

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.

It is labelled as Drumraney House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 but as “Constabulary barracks” on later edition maps. It is not extant now.
Shinglis House The 1906 Survey of Untenanted Demesnes indicates John Malone as the owner of a property at Shinglis, valued at almost £32. The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows the ruins of Shinglis Court adjacent to this site but the 25-inch map labels Shinglis House a short distance to the north-east. O'Brien provides a detailed account of the evolution of the houses at this site, notably those occupied by the Malone family. He notes that Shinglis was demolished in the 1970s.

The house is labelled Littletown Lodge on the 1st edition map but as Littletown House on the 25-inch edition. It survived into the twentieth century but is no longer extant. In 1837 Lewis referred to Littleton Lodge as the seat of W. Lennox Napier. Another Littletown House is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map in the adjacent townland of Littletown [N096519] but this is described as 'in ruins' on the later map.

Lewis also referred to it as his seat in 1837. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in 1760. O'Brien notes that there is a family tradition that the roof had to be replaced in the nineteenth century having been damaged during ''the Night of the Big Wind'' in 1839. Noughaval is still extant and occupied. Photo of Noughaval House (Ballymahon)
Belmore Place At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s this property was held in fee by Robert W. Lowry, when it was valued at £16. It is labelled Belmore Place on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps. O'Brien writes that the original house at this site had been occupied by Netterville Blake, who sold the property to Lowry in 1832. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the surviving farm complex was built c.1850. The house was demolished in the 20th century. Photo of Belmore Place
Ballymore Parochial House Thomas Coffey was leasing this property to Reverend Thomas Guinan at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £12.
