House name	Description
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.
Birch Grove	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Thomas Brabazon was leasing a property valued at £10 at Beagh, barony of Moycarn, county Roscommon, to Ellen O'Shaughnessy. In 1837 Lewis records Birch Grove as the residence of J. O'Shaughnessy. Referred to as the residence of J.J. O'Shaughnessy in 1894. A house is still extant at the site.
Castle Park House	William Kelly was occupying a house valued at £23, at Cuilleen, barony of Moycarn, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is described as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Woodmount	The Reverend P.K. Egan in his book on Ballinasloe records the building of this house by Laughlen Kelly in 1783. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Kelly was leasing a property at Tonalig, barony of Moycarn, valued at £13, to James Delahunty. Both Lewis and Leet record this property as the residence of Hugh Kelly in 1837 and 1814 respectively. . Fr. Egan records that the Kellys sold the property around 1880 and emigrated to Australia. The property was in the possession of William and John Hynes in 1906. It is now in ruins.
Drumalagagh Cottage	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, George Harrison was leasing a property at Drumalagagh, barony of Moycarn, valued at £14, from Lieutenant Colonel Maberly. This seems to be the property known as Drumalagagh Cottage. This was earlier associated with the St. George family. In 1837 Lewis records Dromalga Cottage as owned by Sir R. St. George but the seat of Mr. Dexter. The Ordnance Survey Name books of the same year describe the property as "a gentleman's place in good repair". It appears to have been situated on the demesne known as Mount Equity, of about 770 acres. Buildings labelled "Mount Equity" appear on the 1st edition OS Map but not on subsequent editions. In the Encumbered Estates sale notice of 1852 Dromalgagh Cottage is described as unoccupied but formerly the residence of the late Mrs. Dexter. In 2009, this property was offered for sale. An eighteenth century mausoleum, dedicated to Henry St. George, is also located in this townland.
Faltia House	Daniel Mathers occupied Faltia House, barony of Moycarn, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £9. It was part of a demesne of over 400 acres. The Ordnance Survey Field Name books of 1837 describe it as "a gentleman's place in good repair".
Kilbegly House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Dillon was leasing a house valued at £20 at Kilbegley, barony of Moycarn, to William Colohan. In 1837 Lewis records Kilbegley as the residence of B. Newcomen. In the same year it is recorded in the Ordnance Survey Name books as "a gentleman's place, two stories high, in good repair". The 25-inch map of the 1890s indicates alterations to the house. Only ruins remain at Kilbegly now.
Rathpeak House [Woodpark Lodge]	Owen Lynch was occupying the house at Rathpeak at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £14. Lewis records Woodpark as his seat in 1837. This is also the property listed as his residence in 1814. At the time of the first Ordnance Survey in 1837 the house, known as Rathpeak House, is described as "a fine house, three stories high and in tolerable repair". When the property was advertised for sale in the Landed Estates' Court in 1861 Woodpark Lodge was described as a mansion house which originally cost several thousand pounds to build. There is now no sign of the house and there are modern farm sheds at the stables. Family history sources suggest the house was demolished in the latter years of the twentieth century.
Tully (Moycarn)	A house labelled as "Tully House" at Tully, barony of Moycarn, is shown on the first edition of the Ordnance Survey map adjacent to Tully Castle. It was described in the accompanying Name books as "a gentleman's place, a very good home in good repair". This townland was owned by James Thorngate at the time of Griffith's Valuation but the only house is valued at 10s. Tully Castle is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. In 1786 Wilson mentions "Tulleigh" as the beautiful seat of Sr R. St.George.
