House name	Description
Loughburke	This house was originally the home of a branch of the Burke family. In the late 18th century it passed into the possession of the Lucas family who continued to reside there until the mid 19th century. C. and B. Lucas were in occupation in 1814 and Lewis records Lough Burke as the ancient seat of the Burke family ''now occupied by the Lucas family''. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was valued at £1 and James Casey was the tenant holding from the Woodwards.
Doolough Lodge	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Matthew Kelly [of Kilrush] held a herd's house valued at £3 and 201 acres from Edward O'Brien at Treanmanagh. The house dates from about the mid 19th century and was the Irish home of Matthew's son General Sir Thomas Kelly Kenny. Weir writes that the General had King George V to stay in the house following the King's coronation in 1910.
Fairy Hill	James O'Brien was living in this house in 1814 and it remained in the possession of O'Briens until the 1860s. Valued at £5 at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the Reverend Daniel Lynch was in residence. Occupied by the Lynch family in the 20th century.
Crawford's Lodge	In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to Crawford's Lodge as the residence of W. Crawford. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland was held in fee by William Crawford when the house was valued at £6+. It is not labelled on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s though a house still exists at the site.
