House name	Description
Barbersfort	Originally a Bermingham residence, sold to the Ruttledges in 1816 and recorded as the seat of Mrs. Rutledge in 1894. Burnt down in the 1920s apparently by accident. A new house was built on part of the site which adjoins the old farmyard. Now the home of the Dunlevy family.
Hillsbrook	The home of a branch of the Kirwans of Cregg in the first half of the 19th century. Occupied by Henry Campbell at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at over £20. It is no longer extant.
Moyne	Built in the first half of the 19th century by Michael J. Browne who was forced to sell his estate in the mid 1850s when the house was described as ‘a magnificent pile of Grecian architecture of the Doric order’. John Stratford Kirwan bought the house and demesne in 1857 from Edward Browne who had purchased it in 1855. Kirwan advertised it for sale again in 1865. It was eventually sold to the Waithmans who later purchased Merlin Park. In 1912 the house became a hospice for infirm priests and in the 1930s was taken over by the Sacred Heart Missionaries. Since 1972 it has been the home of a number of people, including the broadcaster and poet George MacBeth and the singer Donovan. A floor plan and lithographs of the house are included in the various sale rentals.
Elmhill	Occupied by Edward Rochfort in 1814. By the time of Griffith's Valuation there was no house with a valuation of more than £1.18 shillings in the townland. The 25-inch map of the 1890s shows a later building called Elmhill House slightly north of the original building. There is still an extant house at the site.
Cooloo Cottage	In 1786 Wilson mentions "Coreloo" as the seat of Mr. Browne. Occupied by James O'Connor in 1814. Held in fee by Edward Browne at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £25. It became the home of Michael O'Kelly in the latter half of the 19th century. Cooloo is still extant and occupied
Newtown	The home of the Kelly family in the 19th century, sold to Major Frederick Carr in the early 1930s and sold again in the late 1960s. The house has had a number of owners in the intervening years and is well maintained. It was offered for sale in 2007.
Farmhill	Joseph Kelly was leasing a property valued at almost £10 from Charles Kelly at Farmhill, barony of Tiaquin, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. A house still exists at this site.
Castlemoyle	Built in the 18th century, this house was the residence of Deane esq in the late 1770s and 1780s and occupied in 1814 by Thomas Browne. It was held by Edward Blake in fee in the mid 1850s when it was valued at £8. Sebastian Nolan bought it from the Blakes and lived there until the late 1880s. It is now a substantial ruin.
Clogherboy Cottage	David Rutledge was leasing a house valued at over £8 to James Kealy at Clogerboy, barony of Clare, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house was later known as Cahergal. There is still a building extant at this site.
