House name Description
Moorbrook In 1786 Wilson refers to "Moore-field" as the seat of Mr. Moore. Leet's Directory records 'Moorfield' as an 'unoccupied seat' in 1814. The house appears, however, to have become known as Moorbrook as it is thus labelled on the Ordnance Survey maps. Henry Wills held Moorbrook at the time of the sale in 1854. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it is described as a "herd's house" and occupied by Francis O'Grady. It is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. A modern house has been constructed near the site.
Cloongee Originally a Moore home which was sold by Harloe Phibbs Baker to the McDermotts who lived there until the 20th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Owen McDermott and valued at £7. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes Cloongee as a rare survivor of a late-seventeenth century house in county Mayo. It is still extant and occupied. Photo of Cloongee
Creggagh The house valued at £6 was held by John Fair at the time of Griffith's Valuation but was unoccupied. In 1894 Slater noted it as the seat of Major D.R. Fair. It was occupied in the early decades of the twentieth century but is now a ruin surrounded by forestry. Photo of Creggagh
