House name	Description
Barbersfort	Originally a Bermingham residence, sold to the Ruttledges in 1816 and recorded as the seat of Mrs. Rutledge in 1894. Burnt down in the 1920s apparently by accident. A new house was built on part of the site which adjoins the old farmyard. Now the home of the Dunlevy family.
Dalgin	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Dalygan" as the seat of Mr. Birmingham. It was held in fee by Michael Bermingham at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £17. Inhabited by the Birminghams and later the Kirwans until 1954, subsequently demolished. Out buildings still remain at the site beside a modern bungalow, the home of Mr John Curran.
Sylaun	Descriptions indicate that Sylaun House, which was valued at £7 at the time of Griffith's Valuation, was a single storey, thatched structure. No trace now remains of the house though other estate architecture is visible.
Toghermore	Held in fee by Hugh Henry at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £16. Toghermore is now a training centre for persons with disabilities run by the Health Service Executive.
The Grove	A house on the outskirts of the town of Tuam, occupied by Mrs Cheevers in 1814 and by Patrick Kelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation, who held it from Martin S. Kirwan. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson refers to it as the seat of Martin Kirwan. The house was described in the sale rental of the early 1860s as having two large reception rooms, eight bedrooms and two water closets. Run as a hospital by the Bon Secour Sisters 1945-2001.
Clonbern Park	A house built after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Map. The property in this townland was held by Charles O'Rorke at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at almost £8. Clonbern Park no longer exists but the stable block and walled garden are still evident on the site.
Carrowntryla	Occupied by Henry esq in the 1770s and in 1786. It was the home of the Handcock family in the 19th century, sold to Captain Dick in 1897 and occupied by him in the early years of the 20th century. Bought by Major Gerald Stratford Handcock in 1928 and inherited by his niece, Mrs Voss, who sold the house to Hector McDonnell, a Galway building contractor. The house is no longer extant.
Millbrook	Millbrook House was held in fee by John Bermingham at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £11 and the nearby mill (M412635) at £12. Both buildings are now in ruins.
Carnaun/Carnane	Carnaun was occupied by the Kirwan family in the mid 19th century when Mary Anne Kirwan was leasing from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The property was valued at £12. A house is still extant at the site.
Castlegrove	Originally a Blake house, it was occupied by the Lewins from 1888. Wilson refers to Castle-Grove as the seat of Mr. Blake in 1786. It would seem that this house was replaced in the nineteenth century as, although listed in Leets directory of 1814, the sale rental of 1852 records Castlegrove as a mansion house erected 'within the last twelve years'. It included a ballroom, oak staircase and numerous bedrooms. It was bought by John William Cannon. The sale rental includes a lithograph of the house. Castlegrove was burnt in 1922 and is now a ruin.
Kilcloghan	A house in the townland of Mount Potter, marked as Thornhill on the First edition Ordnance Survey map but as Kilcloghan House on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. Occupied by Charles Blake junior in 1850 and held from Jeremiah Tully. Subsequently the home of Arthur Netterville Blake. A modern house exists at the site now.
Quarrymount	Built in the 1830s, Quarrymount [also known as Kilcloony] was the home of the Bodkin family in the latter half of the 19th century and is reputed to have replaced an early home in the nearby townland of Ardnagall. The house was leased to Edward O'Kelly in 1881 for 31 years. By the early 20th century it was in the hands of the Congested Districts' Board and passed onto the Land Commission who sold the house and 220 acres to the Gordon family. In 1971 Henry Gordon sold the house and remaining 20 acres. The house has been extensively renovated in the early 21st century by the Costellos.
Siller House	On the 1838 Ordnance Survey map Siller House is marked as a substantial residence in the townland of Kilcloony. However by the time of Griffith's Valuation there was no house of more than £2 valuation in the townland of Kilcloony. There is no house at this location on the 25-inch Ordnance map of the 1890s.
Joycegrove/Brownesgrove	A house at this site was occupied by the Joyces in the 1770s and in 1814. It is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map at M466578. The porperty was later acquired by the Browne family and is labelled Browne's Grove on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. A modern house is located in front of the site of the nineteenth century house. The impressive entrance gates still remain.
Oakmount	Built post 1838 and occupied by Edward Kelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £9. A house is still extant at the site.

It was leased to John Irwin Dennis the following year and bought by him in 1851 from Clifford Trotter. Since then the house has been the home of the related families of Dennis, O'Rorke and Cusack Smith. The house and demesne were advertised for sale early in 2007. The Clonbrock Estate Papers, Collection List 54 in the National Library contain early 19th century rentals of the Bermingham estate.
Gallagh	Built in 1844 with money inherited by Cornelius O'Kelly from his uncle Count John Dillon O'Kelly. By the early 20th century this house was part of the estate of W.A. Ryan. Subsequently it was sold to the Congested Districts Board and then to Tobias Joyce of Leenane, county Galway. It was accidentally burnt in 1932.
Castlemoyle	Built in the 18th century, this house was the residence of Deane esq in the late 1770s and 1780s and occupied in 1814 by Thomas Browne. It was held by Edward Blake in fee in the mid 1850s when it was valued at £8. Sebastian Nolan bought it from the Blakes and lived there until the late 1880s. It is now a substantial ruin.
Gardenfield	Home of a branch of the Kirwan family from the late 18th century to the mid 20th century. The original house was replaced by the present house circa 1870. Following the death of Edward Kirwan the estate was divided by the Land Commission in the 1950s. Gardenfield House is now a bed and breakfast. http://www.corrib.net/BedBC14.htm

Castletown	The Knight of Glin stated that this was a late 18th century and early 19th century house built for the O'Haras. This may be the residence known as Tullinadaly, occupied by William Brannock, recorded in 1814, and by James Kirwan in 1837. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson refers to "Tullinadaly" as the seat of Mr. Bodkin. Valued at £15 and occupied by Laurence Mullins at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is now a ruin.

A herd's house occupied by Thomas Higgins who held it from James Higgins is recorded in the townland of Carrowpadden East at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was valued at almost £5. This property appears to have been built after the first Ordnance Survey map was published. There is still a house extant at the site.
