House name	Description
Knocknagore	A house on the Stacpoole estate built by Edmund Mahony who Weir writes married Mary Stacpoole of the Eden Vale family and still occupied by their descendants in the 20th century.
Carrigaholt	Occupied by George Nolan in 1814 this house was the home of a branch of the Burton family for much of the 19th century, held in fee. Valued at £25 at the time of Griffith's Valuation, the original house no longer exists. Weir writes that a reconstructed three bay residence now occupies the site. The 16th century castle still stands in what were the demesne grounds.
Mount Pleasant	An 18th century house that was the home of Richard Bury, son of John Bury of Shannon Grove, county Limerick. In the 19th century it was the residence of the Cox family. Griffith's Valuation shows that Captain J. Cox held the property from the representatives of Anthony Hickman. The house was valued at £22. Two other houses in the townland of Clarefield were also occupied by members of the Cox family, Kate Ville and Mary Ville. This house is now a ruin.
Ballykett	Home of a branch of the Hickman family in the 18th century. Weir writes that the Tymons lived here at the end of the 18th century. Occupied by Thomas Pilkington in 1814 and later by the O'Donnell family and then the Brews. No house is named on the first Ordnance Survey map of 1842. George Brew held a house valued at 2 shillings at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The original house was demolished and replaced by a late 19th century house. Also known as Elmgreen, Taylor and Skinner's map 1778 shows two houses beside each other named Elmgreen occupied by Hickman and Ballykett by Monsell.
Cappagh House (Kilrush)	Occupied by John Trousdell in 1814. Later the home of the Blairs who intermarried with the Persses of Moyode, county Galway. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by William Blair leasing from the Vandeleur estate when the house was valued at £14. The property was labelled Cappagh House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Modern building has taken place in the area.
Broomhill House	Situated just north of Kilrush. Weir writes that this was an old house built before the town of Kilrush. It was occupied by Robert Parkinson in 1814 and by John Kelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation who held it from Colonel Crofton M. Vandeleur. A house is still extant at the site.
Kilrush House	An early 19th century house, home of the Vandeleur family, though they were in residence in the eighteenth century as Wilson refers to Kilrush as the seat of Crofton Vandeleur in 1786. In the mid 19th century it was valued at £85. In 1897 it was completely destroyed by an accidental fire. The site of the house is now a car park for those wishing to visit the Vandeleur Walled Garden, which has recently been restored, or to walk in the woods.
Shannon View	A house on the Vandeleur estate, occupied by S. O'Donnell in 1814 and by Simon O'Donnell at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings still exist at the site.
Pella House	A Studdert home on the Vandeleur estate valued at £13 in the mid 19th century. Weir writes that the house was built by Admiral John Fitzgerald Studdert and it remained a Studdert home until 1900. Though a house is still extant at the site the original house is now ruinous.
Carrigafoyle Castle	Charles L. Sandes was leasing this property to Stephen Sandes at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £19 10s. It is described on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map as Carrigafoyle Castle but on the later 25" edition as Carrigafoyle House. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as "the ancient mansion of O'Connor Kerry, formerly a place of great strength and important.. but now serving as a store to transport goods from the adjacent places to Limerick".
Killelton House	Charles L. Sandes was leasing this property to William Hickie at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £33. Bary writes that this Hickie family were originally from Tulla, county Clare, but moved here after the Cromwellian confisciation of the 1650s. They remained in possession of the property until the 1920s. The Irish Tourist Association survey mentions that it was formerly the home of the Higgins-O'Connor family but by the 1940s was in poor repair. The original house is now a ruin.
Letter House	John Wren was leasing this property to Alicia Wren at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £13. Lewis records it as the seat of G. Wren in 1837. In 1814 Leet refers to Litter as the residence of John Wren. Bary writes that Letter was originally a Blennerhassett property which passed to the Wren family through marriage., It is still extant and owned by descendents of that family.
Liscrona House	A home of the MacDonnell family possibly incorporating their original home before they bought New Hall in the mid 18th century. The present house was probably built post Griffith's Valuation as £1 is the highest house valuation in LIsheencrony at that time. In 1906 Charles R. A. McDonnell is recorded as owning a mansion house valued at £24+ at Lisheencrony. The house has had a number of owners in the 20th century and was restored in the 1970s.
Belleview/Bellevue	A house located on the Vandeleur estate close to the town of Kilrush, the residence of Captain Jewell in 1814 and of Nicholas S. O'Gorman at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11. Weir writes that this was a late 18th century house, still extant.

This house is labelled Cappagh Lodge on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Local sources indicate it was later occupied by the Butler family. Later in the twentieth century it was taken over by the Ryan family whose descendants still live there.
Fort House	This house near the town of Kilrush was the residence of John Trousdell in 1814. Occupied by Richard Studdert in the early 1850s who held the house valued at £7 and three acres from Brew Cox Donovan. Weir writes that it was the agent's house for the Vandeleur estate at one time.

It was the main residence of Jonas Studdert and was valued at £18 + in the early 1850s. The house is labelled Atlantic House on the 25-inch map of the 1890s and a coastguard station was built to the rear. Modern housing has now been built at the site.
