Flower Hill | Flower Hill was being leased by Magdalene Irwin from the Perceval estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. The Irwins had a modest house at this location and in the 1820s set about building a larger property. Due to debt and court proceedings it was never finished and remains a roofless ruin. | |
Old Rock | At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Trumble was leasing a property valued at £4 at Old Rock, barony of Corran, from Johnston Parke. McTernan states that John Trumble eventually disposed of his interest in this property and settled in Manchester. The original house is no longer extant. | |
Temple House | The Temple House estate extended into the Civil parishes of Cloonoghill and Emlaghfad as well as in the parish of Kilvarnet where the house is located. In 1786 Wilson refer to Temple-house as the seat of Mr. Perceval. The present house was built c.1820 but was subsequently modified. In 1894 the house was noted by Slater as the seat of Mrs. Perceval. Remains of earlier Perceval houses are to be seen in the demesne. |

McTernan notes the house as the seat of the Rea family from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. A number of other families occupied the house up until the 1980s when it was demolished. | |
