Derrymaclaughna	A house appears to be located near the castle on the first Ordnance Survey map of 1838. The Ordnance Survey Name Books mention the ruins of a castle, a mansion house and a chapel in the townland. The property belonged to the Burke family in the 18th century as Wilson noted it as the seat of Mr. Burke in 1786. It became the residence of Thomas P. O'Flahertie of the Lemonfield family in the early 19th century. He was married to a daughter of Ulick Burke of Derrymaclaughna. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Thomas Cullinane who held it from James Browne. Derrymaclaughna was the residence of Alan Parker Close in the 1870s. In November 1887, Richard Rowland was offering for sale a quarter share of the lands at Errew, county Mayo, as well as lands at Derrymacloughna, barony of Clare, county Galway, in the Land Judges' Court. However, due to absence of bidding, the sale was adjourned.
Cregg Castle	Built in the mid 17th century, the home of the Kirwans until the early 19th century.

The OS Name Books record it as the property of James Blake in the 1830s.

St. John's	This house was built later in the nineteenth century. It appears as "St. John's" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey Map of the 1890s. The Corbishley family occupied St. John's until the early twentieth century when an auction was held on the premises. The property was purchased by the Finn family but members of the Corbishley family remained living in the house for some years afterwards. St. John's remained the property of the Finn family until later in the twentieth century. In 2005 it was sold. Extensive works have since been carried out at the entrance including new gates and railings.

It was offered for sale in the Landed Estates court in November 1876 as part of the estate of Wm. Vesey Fitzgerald Hickman. Part of the original house is no longer extant and construction work has taken place in the area.
Carnmore	The OS Name Books record Mr. Blake of county Mayo as the proprietor of Carnmore in the 1830s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Valentine O'Connor Blake was leasing a house valued at £4 and over 100 acres to Arthur Veitch. Some ruins remain at the site.

Glennagloughaun North	A building valued at £12 was occupied by Digby French at the time of Griffith's Valuation, this may have been the old charter school marked on the first Ordnance Survey map. The latter building appears to have fallen into disuse by the 1890s and the site is now occupied by a farm supply stores.

Park	In 1786 Wilson refers to Park as the seat of Mr. Burke, half a mile from the Monivea-Galway road. This may refer to Park townland in the barony of Athenry, which was in the possession of James Perry at the time of Griffith's Valuation.
Cossaun or Cussane	In 1786 Wilson refers to Cussane as the seat of Mr. Parker. By the time of the 1st Ordnance Survey the house in Cossaun townland is described as "in ruins". The townland was in the possession of the Mahons of Belleville by the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s.
Claregalway Castle	In 1786 Wilson refers to "the ancient castle of Clare-Galway, the seat of Michael French". Both the 1st edition and 25-inch edition indicate that the original tower house was in ruins but extensive adjacent buildings are shown on the 25-inch map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was part of Lord Clanmorris's estate and was leased to Patrick Reilly when the buildings were valued at over £5. The castle is still extant and undergoing a programme of renovation.
Corbally House (Kilmoylan)	In 1786 Wilson refers to Corbally, the seat of Mr. D'Arcy, situated beside a lough. This would appear to be Corbally House, in the parish of Kilmoylan.
