House name Description
Aran View Weir writes that this house was built by the Macnamaras. Francis Macnamara lived at Arran View in 1837. Occupied by Robert Johnston at the time of Griffith's Valuation, the Johnstons continued to live there until at least the late 1870s. The original building appears to have been demolished and modern housing constructed at the site.
Rathbaun Home of Simon P. Creagh in 1814 and of his son Pierce Creagh in 1837. Occupied by John Hickey at the time of Griffith's Valuation who held the house from Pierce Creagh. The house is no longer extant.
Doolin Doolin came into the possession of the Macnamara family in the mid 18th century through the marriage of William Macnamara and Catherine Sarsfield. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the residence of Henry Valentine Macnamara. It remained a Macnamara home until the 20th century when it was burnt down in the early 1920s and no trace remains now.
Aughavoher House Summer residence of the Gores of Derrymore, held by Edward A. Gore in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is no longer extant.
Glashamore House Marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, 'Glashy' was occupied by N. Davoren in 1814 and by John Magann at the time of Griffith's Valuation, who held the house from Edward A. Gore. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Ballynalackan Lewis writes in the late 1830s that Ballynalacken Castle was about to be repaired by the proprietor J. O'Brien. Weir writes that John O'Brien built a house near the old castle in 1840 and the O'Brien family lived there in the second half of the 19th century, however there is no house in the townland of Ballylacken valued at more than £2 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and no indication that the O'Briens were resident. The house was bought by the O'Callaghan family in 1939 and is run by them as a small hotel. see http://www.ballinalackencastle.com/index.html Photo of Ballynalackan
