House name	Description
Sandfield Lodge	Knocknaraha was originally O'Brien property. The house Sandfield Lodge was occupied by James Lysaght in 1814 and by the Right Honourable Baron Richards at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Baron Richards was leasing from Captain Francis Macnamara. The house is still extant and now the home of the Lucas family.
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.
St Catherines	Marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as Gortaclob House and on the later 25-inch edition as St. Catherines, this house was occupied by Francis McNamara Calcutt in the mid 19th century, valued at over £20 and held by him in fee. It is no longer extant.

Moher House	A Macnamara property, occupied by James Gorman in 1814 and by Peter Scales at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £7. J. Macnamara was residing at Moher in 1837 but it is not clear whether this was Moher House or Lodge. John Macnamara of Moher, younger brother of William N. Macnamara of Doolin, is well documented in the Stacpoole Kenny Papers. A house is still extant at this site.
Moymore	This house was occupied by a member of the Stackpoole family in 1837. The townland was held by James R. Dunne in the mid 19th century and the house occupied by John B. McNamara. By the mid 1870s Mrs Mary Louisa Ryding was resident at Moymore. Her daughter Louisa married Thomas Kenny and in 1906 Moymore belonged to Thomas H. Kenny. A house is still extant at the site.
Ballyvorda	A house on the Stackpoole estate, occupied by John Lysaght at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £9. John Comber records that Mary, sister of Cornelius O'Brien of Birchfield, married John Lysaght of Ballyvorda. see http://www.clarelibrary.ie/eolas/coclare/people/cornelius_obrien/genealogy.htm. A house is still located at the site.
Birchfield	Birchfield was the residence of Cornelius O'Brien in 1814 and in 1837. Lewis also refers to the erecting of an ornamental building in castellated style for the accommodation of visitors on the top of the cliffs [of Moher] by Cornelius O'Brien. The house was valued at £50 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. By the mid 1870s Birchfield belonged to Cornelius Alexander Keogh. It is now a ruin.
Seamount	A house situated on the O'Brien estate, it was occupied by Charles O'Callaghan in 1814 and by the Right Reverend Dr Fallon, Bishop of Kilfenora, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £18. Later it became the home of the Higgins family. The house was accidentally burnt in the early 20th century.

Summer Ville	Griffith's Valuation records that the house valued at £3 was leased to James Foley by James R. Dunne. It is labelled Summer Ville on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps. A new house appears to have been constructed at the site in the last decade.
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

John O'Brien held the house and 117 acres from Edward Wingfield Stratford at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Weir writes that the house was demolished by the Land Commission in the 1940s..
Rivoli	Weir describes Rivoli as a late 19th century house to which James Shannon's family moved from nearby Derry House in the second half of the 19th century. It was a home of the Hunt family in the early 20th century.
