House name	Description
Streedagh	It is likely that Thomas Jones built a house at Streedagh c 1725. However, the present house dates from the early years of the nineteenth century. In 1906 it was the property of Richard W. Jones and was valued at £18. It is still extant and occupied.
Moneygold	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Moneygold was leased by the Fawcett family from Viscount Palmerston's estate and was valued at £13. Lewis records it as the residence of the Soden family in 1837. McTernan notes that it was the seat of the family from the early eighteenth century when James Soden leased almost 1000 acres from the Temple estate. In 1906 it was the property of Major G.M. Eccles whose mother was Isabella Soden. The house was damaged in a storm in the early 1960s and subsequently demolished.
Rindaly Cottage	In 1906 the Ashley estate owned a property at Creevymore, barony of Carbury, valued at almost £9. At the time of Griffith's Valuation this property had been in use as an agriculturalist's house on the Palmerston estate, and leased to John Lynch. McTernan notes that Lynch acted as resident agent and land steward for the estate. A second house, adjacent to the first, was leased, at the time of the Valuation, to Rev.Malachy Brennan and valued at over £8.
