House name	Description
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.
Newborough	Occupied by Lynch esq in the 1770s, this house passed to the Crean family by marriage. Newborough became a Blake house in the early 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation there were two houses valued at £3 in the townland of Bunagarraun, occupied by Patrick Higgins and Margaret Higgins, who held from Patrick Crean Lynch. The original house is not extant.
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.
Ironpool	A Jenings home, described as a "good thatched 2 -storey dwelling house" in 1852, occupied by George Jenings. It was held in fee by William Ogilvie at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £6. It is now a 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
Ballygaddy	Occupied by Kirwan esq in the 1770s and in 1786. It was the residence of Thomas Lally in 1814 and, from the 1830s, of John Daly, who held it from Nesbitt Kirwan. The house was valued at £5 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The site is now occupied by farmbuildings.
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.
Brooklawn	A Blake home occupied by John Griffin in 1814. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Charles Blake held the townland of Fartamore from James Lynch. A house valued at £10 was being leased from him by the Bord of Works. Fartamore is still extant but unoccupied.
