House name	Description
Clonbrock	Designed by William Leeson and built in the 1780s. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of Lord Clonbrock. In 1786 Wilson refers to Clonbrock as the seat of R. Dillon. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house at Clonbrock was valued at £100. In 1906 it was valued at £135. The house was badly damaged by fire in the 1980s and only one wing is now inhabited.
Pallas	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John J. Bodkin was leasing a property at Pallas, parish of Fohanagh, to Thomas O'Connor. The house was valued at £3 but was accompanied by over 600 acres. A new house appears to have been constructed after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. It is labelled Pallas on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. It is now derelict.
Lowville	Lowville was originally the seat of Nathanial Lowe who held this estate in the mid-18th century and Wilson refers to it as his seat in 1786. In 1814 it was the residence of the Hon. Mrs. Low. In 1837 Lewis recorded Lowville as the seat of W. McDonagh. It was still occupied by Walter McDonagh in the 1850s and was valued at £45. By 1906 it was in the possession of Bernard Connaughton and was valued at £33. It was later the home of the Byrne family but was sold in the early 1970s and ceased to be residential. It is now a ruin.
Barnavihall House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Connolly was leasing this property, valued at £8, together with over 250 acres, from R.W. Greene. There is still an extant house at the site.
Carrowmanagh Cottage	Carrowmanagh Cottage was the residence of Rev. Edward Hartigan in 1814. In 1837 Lewis records it as the seat of Thomas Bermingham. It was included in the sale of the Ashtown estate in the Encumbered Estates court in 1851. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by Rev. Frederick Trench to Crawford Allen. Some ruins remain at the site.
Hillswood	In 1837 Lewis recorded Hillswood as the seat of Hyacinth Donnellan. At the time of Griffith's Valuation in 1856 Edmund Donnellan was leasing the house at Hillswood, together with almost 300 acres, to Obadiah Holland. It is no longer extant.
Fairfield (Kilgerrill)	Wilson, writing in 1786, notes Fairfield as the seat of Mr. O'Brien. In 1837, Lewis records Fairfield as the seat of John O'Brien. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Fairfield was leased by James Thorngate to Daniel Cruise. Taylor and Skinner record Fairfield as a seat of the O'Brien family in 1783. The original house is not extant.
Heathview House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Christopher Usher was leasing buildings including a mill, valued at £25, to William Usher, in the townland of Kilgerrill, barony of Clonmacnowen. Earlier, in 1837, "The Lodge" in the parish of Kilgerrill was recorded by Lewis as the seat of William Usher. Described by the Ordnance Survey Name Books as "in good repair", it was then the residence of J. Usher. A house still exists at the site.
Cloonatleva	Samuel Johnston was leasing a property valued at almost £5 at Cloonatleva Lower, barony of Kilconnell, from the Hodson estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The original building is not shown on the later 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Modern farm buildings occupy the site now.
Cloonatleva Mill	James Tyrrell was leasing a house and mill, valued at £6, together with land, at Cloonatleva, barony of Kilconnell, from the Hodson estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The building is described as "disused" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Fohenagh	Sir Henry Grattan Bellew dates this house from the 1830s. In 1906 Norah Johnston was the owner of buildings valued at £10 at Fohenagh as well as over 500 acres of untenanted land. Various members of the Johnston family had held lands in the area at the time of Griffith's Valuation mostly leased from the Hodson estate. Buildings still remain at this site.
Milverton	Thomas Hunt was leasing a property valued at £20 from the Mahon estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Extensive corn mills are shown at this site at the time of the First Ordnance Survey but by the 1890s it is occupied by a house labelled Milverton which is still extant.
