| Thomastown Park | Built in the 18th century and home of the Naghten family for over 200 years, valued at £35 in the 1850s. Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Naghten in 1786. In 1894 Slater mentions Thomastown park as the seat of Mrs. Naghten. It is no longer extant. | |
| Mounthussey | The home of the Hussey Walsh family, valued at £4 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The later 25-inch map of the 1890s shows a much larger house at Moynure. A house still exists on the site. | |
| Johnstown | Built circa 1782 by Colonel John Dillon and held on a lease in perpetuity from the Incorporated Society for Promoting English Protestant Schools in Ireland. The Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to this fine residence, occupied by D. Kelly. The Dillons were in residence again by the time of Griffith's Valuation. It became the home of the Kelly family in the early 1870s until the late 1920s. Demolished by the Land Commission, only the entrance gates still remain. | |
| Mount Florence | This house originally known as the 'Whitehouse' and later as 'Mount Florence' was the home of the O'Sullivan family from the mid 18th century. In 1883 it was sold to the Greene family from the Ballinasloe area. It is now a ruin. | |
| Esker | Occupied by W. Kelly in 1837. Bought by the Glennon family and occupied by them for most of the 20th century, still extant. |

| Cuilleen House | A branch of the Naghten family lived at Cuilleen in the 1830s. Malachy Naghten of Cuilleen died in 1865 aged 63 and is buried in Drum Old Cemetery. The house is labelled Cuilleen House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1830s but is not shown on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s and no trace is visible now. |
