House name	Description
Tintrim	Up to 1898 this house was in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway. It is now in the barony of Tulla Upper, county Clare. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John A. Burke was occuping the house valued at £11, at Tintrim, parish of Clonrush, barony of Leitrim, county Galway. Weir states that the house at Tintrim was probably built by John Anthony Burke of Clondegoff Castle nearby. He was most likely a member of the Burke family who lived at Meelick House, Whitegate at the same time. Tintrim continued in the possession of the Burke family as John Anthony Burke moved out to allow his son, Edmund, and his family to live there until the house was sold in 1867. The house later passed to the Madden family and is still extant and occupied. The Irish Tourist Association file records state that John A. Burke died in 1857 though the family history suggests he died in 1863. The Tourist Association file also notes that in 1933 there was a search for the heirs of his reputed son, Martin Edward Burke, in Australia.
Meelick	Weir states that Meelick was a Burke house in the seventeenth century when Burkes, originally from Clondegoff Castle, in the barony of Longford, settled here. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Walter Blake was occupying the house at Meelick, parish of Clonrush, barony of Leitrim, valued at £17. In 1814 this property was the residence of Matthew Yelverton. The OS Name Books record Meelick as the home of Mr. Gilbertson. Lewis recorded it as "uninhabited" in 1837. There is still an occupied house at Meelick. The Irish Tourist Association file for the parish of Clonrush refers to Meelick as a substantial house with a concrete roof, ancestral home of the Burkes.
Drummaan	Drummaan House is described as "in ruins" on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey. The ruins have disappeared by the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. This townland is now located in county Clare.
Knockbrack	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Joshua Seward was leasing a house valued at almost £10 at Drummaan East, barony of Leitrim. Since 1898 this house has been located in county Clare. This seems to be the house shown on the 1st edition OS map as Knockbrack. A house valued at £14 at Drummaan East, county Clare, was owned by Maj. Gen. Spencer Cooper in 1906.
Gweeneeny	John Sheehy was occupying a property valued at £8 at Gweeneeny, barony of Leitrim, county Galway at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This property has been located in county Clare since 1898.
Williamstadt House	Previously the residence of the Brady family, Williamstadt passed to Dr.Francis Sampson through marriage in 1833. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £10 and Sampson was leasing it from James Egan. Up to 1898 this house would have been in county Galway. The house is still extant and occupied.
Moneenroe/Drummaan House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Anthony Holland was leasing a property valued at £6 from James Egan, at Drummaan East, barony of Leitrim, county Galway. This seems to correspond to the property labelled Moneenroe on the 1st edition OS map. Other members of the Holland family were leasing lands from Egan in the same townland. On the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s this house is labelled Drummaan, the previous house of that name having disappeared. There is still an extant house at this site which is now located in county Clare.
St Davids	Lewis refers to the fishing lodge of the Very Reverend Gilbert Holmes, Dean of Ardfert, "beautifully situated on the banks of the Shannon". At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the lodge was valued at £13.10 shillings, occupied by B. W. Holmes and held from John D. and William Kellett. This fishing lodge was altered in the 1860s and renamed St Davids. It remained in the possession of the Holmes family until the 1980s and now functions as a guest house and restaurant. It was offered for sale in 2011.
Shannonvale/Kilteelagh	Occupied by Mrs Bunbury in 1814 and J. Odell in 1837. The Ordnance Survey Name Books describe it as "a spacious building, the residence of Mr. Cashel" in 1841. Peter Bailey was the occupier in the early 1850s, when the property was held from Mary Nunn. The buildings were valued at £10+. In the 1860s this house was replaced by a new building slightly to the north known as Kilteelagh House. It was built for Lieutenant Colonel W.C. Gason and is still a residence. It was offered for sale in 2012. Anoher Bayley property, known as Hazel Point Cottage, is located close by at R801860.
Johnstown Park	This house was built for Peter Holmes, MP, c. 1777 and probably designed by William Leeson. It was originally known as Peterfield. It was leased to Samuel Prendergast in 1823. Lewis records J.G. Prendergast as resident in 1837 and the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to it as the residence of Counsellor Prendergast in 1840. The house valued at £49 was occupied by Thomas G. Prendergast in the mid 19th century and held from the representatives of Peter Holmes. From 1865 to 1936 Johnstown was the home of the Headech family. The house was unroofed in the early 1940s and is now demolished.
