Brooklawn Labelled Brooklawn House on both the First and 25-inch editions of the Ordnance Survey map though the buildings are slightly apart. In 1837 this house was the residence of a branch of the Blake family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased to Michael McDermott by Thomas J. Blakely [sic]. It is no longer extant.

By 1906 it was in the ownership of William A. Usher and was valued at £81. This house is no longer extant but extensive remains of stables, demesne and walled garden survive. Photo of Eastwell
Burkeville Burkeville was offered for sale in the Encumbered estates court in July 1852. At the time, Maurice Bennett was the tenant of this "fine commodious dwelling house". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held by Nicholas Coolaghan and valued at almost £10. It was still in the possession of Nicholas Coolaghan in 1906. A house still exists at the site.
Oatfield Oatfield House, owned by John Longworth , was vacant at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Earlier, in 1837, Lewis had recorded it as the seat of Major Lynch even though this house had been in the possession of the Longworth family since at least 1814. The Ordnance Survey Field name books also record it as the residence of Major Lynch. In 1783 Taylor & Skinner and in 1786,Wilson, both recorded Oatfield as a property of the Brabazon family. By 1906 it was the property of Edward Longworth. The original house is not extant at the site now. Photo of Oatfield
Newgrove House In 1786 Wilson refers to Newgrove as the seat of Mr. Blake. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the property is described as a care-takers house, and leased to John H. Blake by the Wallscourt estate. It is labelled Newgrove House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but is described as "in ruins" on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s.
