| Portumna Castle | The house we know as Portumna Castle was built in the early seventeenth century by Richard de Burgo or Burke, 4th Earl of Clanricarde. It was used as the de Burgo/Burke family residence for over 200 years until it was badly damaged by fire in 1826 when it was replaced by another house close by. This second house is no longer extant. In 1906 the buildings at Portumna were valued at £40. The original Portumna Castle has been restored and is open to the public. |

| Pallas | Pallas was the largest of the Nugent properties in the parish of Tynagh, which also included Spring Garden, Flower Hill and Crannagh, a property that had been used in the eighteenth century. A mansion was built at Pallas for Anthony Nugent, 4th Lord Riverston, in 1797. Slater, in 1846, refers to the Hon. Anthony Nugent residing at "The Palace". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the property of Anthony Nugent and was valued at £46. In 1906 it was owned by the Earl of Westmeath and was valued at £52. It was demolished after World War II. A well-preserved tower house and the remains of a large 17th century residence can also be seen at Pallas. |

| Flower Hill | Flower Hill was occupied by Anthony F. Nugent at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £28. IN 1894 it was the residence of Charles Nugent. Flower Hill is still extant and now operates as an equestrian centre. See www.flowerhill.net |

| Shannon Hill (Derryvunlam) | Edward Matthews occupied Shannon Hill House at Derryvunlum, barony of Leitrim, at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £18. In 1906 the house at Derryvunlam, known as Shannon Hill, was still valued at £18 and still in the hands of Edward Matthews. There is still an extant house at the site. |

| Thornfield | Slater refers to Thornfield as the seat of John Davis in 1846. In 1856 Thomas Galbraith was leasing a property valued at £7 in the townland of Thornfield, parish of Lickmolassy, barony of Longford, from the Clanricarde estate. It is no longer extant. | |
| Crannagh House | There are references to a house owned by the Nugents at Crannagh in the eighteenth century but there is no substantial house shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. Slater refers to "Crane" as the seat of Arthur Nugent in 1846. The townland is in Arthur Nugent's possession at the time of Griffith's Valuation but there is only a caretaker's house of nominal valuation. However, the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s shows a substantial building labelled Crannagh House. This property is no longer extant. |
