Ballyforan | In 1786 Wilson refers to a house at Ballyforan, the seat of Mr. Kelly. This may be the unamed property shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, close to the river Suck, which is labelled The Lodge on the subsequent 25-inch edition. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, this property was held from the Greene estate by Thomas Kenny. The house was valued at almost £7 and the nearby mills at £23. It is now a ruin. | |

Ashfield (Tiaquin) | IN 1786, Wilson refers to Ashfield as the seat of Mr. Blakeney. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map a tree-lined avenue and buildings are shown but not named. None of the buildings are visible today though a portion of the avenue remains. | |
Killure | Writing in 1786, Wilson refers to Killure as the seat of Mr. Dillon. He appears to be referring to either Killure Castle or a property associated with it.
