House name	Description
Umma or Emoe House	Umma or Emoe House is named on the first edition OS map. It was a Magan home from at least the early 18th century. Thomas Magan was resident in 1814. O’Brien writes that Francis Magan was the last family member to reside at Emoe. It was recorded as his seat in 1837. He died in 1841. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) James Hill Shaw held the house valued at £15 from George A Boyd. Another building with the same name is marked on the 25 inch map to the south east of the original house and is still extant (N198 453). This second house was built in 1900 (O’Brien) by the Shaw family. James Shaw of Ballymahon purchased the lands in 1875. Occupied by the Skelly family in the 20th century.
Toberville House	Toberville House is named on the first edition OS map. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) it was occupied by Thomas Murtagh, valued at £12 and held from Captain H Boyd Gamble. A building is still located at this site.
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. 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. 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. Historic connections with the D'Alton family including Count Oliver D'Alton (d. 1799); Ignatius Dillon Begg (d. 1813) and Countess Elizabeth Begg (née D'Alton) (d. 1832); Oliver William Costello Dillon Begg (d. 1848) [of] Mount Dalton Rathconrath (Lewis 1837 xi); and the Brabazon family. Mount Dalton is the home of the Brabazon Gibson family.
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.
Drumraney	This property is described as “in chancery” at the time of Griffiths Valuation, though it was being leased by John Carney from the estate of Alicia O’Connor Malone. It was valued at £14. 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.
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. A smaller house appears at this location on the 1st edition map of 1838 but a house labelled “Parochial House” is shown on the early 20th century 25-inch edition. Buildings still extant at site but may not be original.
