House name	Description
Monksfield	The house at Monksfield had originally belonged to the Morgan family who were of Welsh origin. Evidence from the 17th century records shows that they acquired land in this area in the later 17th century. In 1837 Lewis recorded Monksfield as the seat of Capt. Morgan. It had to be sold in the mid-19th century due to debts. By the 1850s it was the residence of Thomas Shawe-Taylor.In 1906 it was owned by Walter Shawe Taylor and was valued at £14. Kelly, writing in 1976, indicated that the estate was sold to the tenants around 1908. After the estate was divided, the house continued to be occupied well into the twentieth century but is now a ruin surrounded by farmland.
Lambert Lodge (Kilquain)	In the 1830s Kilquain was described as "Proprietor J. W. H. ambert, Esqr., Aggard. No agent. This townland is farmed by Carbit Lambert, Esqr. Proprietor's brother, and on which is built a superb house and offices under a bulk rent of £200 per year. There is a garden and orchard and an interesting demesne". In 1855 the Lambert house at Kilquain was occupied by Cuthbert Lambert leasing from John Lambert. It is still extant and occupied.
Newpark	The Ordnance Survey Name books state that the townland was the property of John Nolan of Prospect, Gort in the 1830s. The house appears to have been built after that time. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, this property was leased by John Nolan to Andrew Nolan. In 1906 it was still the property of Andrew Nolan and was valued at £17. It is no longer extant.
Castledaly	This property was in the possession of the Blake family from the late 16th century and was known as Corbally. In 1786 Wilson refers to the house as the seat of Mr. Blake. When Peter Daly acquired it in 1829 he had the castle remodelled and a facade added. The property then became known as Castledaly. Lewis records it as the seat of J. Daly in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the property of James Daly and the buildings were valued at £34. It was also the seat of James Daly in 1894. It is now a ruin. The mausoleum of the Daly family can be seen in the grounds of St. Theresa's church nearby, which they helped to build and where memorial tablets recording members of the family can be seen.
Woodville House	Woodville House is described as "a gentleman's seat, having fine premises and a good deal of woodland attached" in the 1830s. Robert Darcy, who acted as a land agent, was leasing this house from the Clanricarde estate in 1855. In 1906 it was valued at £26. It is still extant and occupied. The walled garden has also been restored and is open to visitors at certain time. See woodvillewalledgarden.com.
Castleboy	In 1855 Dudley Persse owned a house valued at £40 in Castleboy. Lewis also recorded it as a seat of the Persse family in 1837. One round tower and small portions of the stable yard now remain.
Ashfield House	Ashfield House was a Persse property. Woodrangers' and workmens' cottages as well as 298 acres constituted this part of the estate. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £3. By 1906 it was the property of Capt. A. Persse and was valued at almost £5.
Kilchreest Glebe	Rev. William O'Grady was leasing this property from the Persse estate & John & Eliza Gloster. It was originally church lands. In 2006 this property was still extant and was offered for sale together with a property known as Killinan House nearby.
Millmount House	Thomas Phayre was leasing this property from the Earl of Clancarty's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It also included a mill, herd's house and 150 acres. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in the 1760s. It is still extant and occupied.
Ballymanagh (Dunkellin)	In 1786 Wilson writes that Ballymanagh was the seat of Mr. Burke. Ballymanagh House is shown on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by James Burke from the Redington estate when the house was valued at almost £2. A house is still extant at the site.
