House name	Description
Manus South House	Weir writes that this house was built by the Healy family. It was occupied by James Healy at the time of Griffith's Valuation and was valued at £20. Both Healy houses at Manusmore were leased from Colonel George Wyndham. This house is now the home of the O'Halloran family.
Cahirbane	Home of the Creagh family throughout most of the 18th and 19th centuries. It was occupied by Captain James Creagh at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £25. The original house was larger than the 20th century construction now in existance.
Ballygirreen	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Ballygirreen was occupied by Francis O'Donohoe who held the property from Lord Inchiquin. The value of the buildings was £12 in the mid 1850s and in 1906. A house is still extant at the site.
Shepperton	Castlekeale and Shepperton or Shepherdsfield houses were both located in the townland of Ballysallagh West. Weir writes that the Fitzgerald family moved from Castlekeale to Shepperton in the latter part of the 18th century. The house appears to have been leased out to many different people, such as John Wrixton in 1814, John Gabbutt in 1837 and Captain William J. Owen in the 1850s when the house was valued at £22. Weir writes that the house is now demolished.
Carrigoran	An 18th century house the residence of the Fitzgerald family in the 18th and 19th centuries. Griffith's Valuation shows that the house was valued at £45 in the mid 19th century and that it was held by Sir Edward Fitzgerald from Matthew Rosengrave. An earlier house reputedly destroyed by fire in the late 18th century stood nearby. The house was bought by the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word in the 1920s. The house was still in use in the 1940s but was demolished in the 1980s.
Shannon Grove	Located on the estate of Sir Edward Fitzgerald this house was occupied by John Coffey at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The property was sold to the Hegarty family in the 1920s. It was labelled Shannon Grove on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Crow Hill on subsequent editions. A house and extensive farm are still extant at the site.
Dromoland	This branch of the O'Briens have lived at Dromoland since the 17th century when they moved from Leamaneh Castle near Corofin to Dromoland. The present building was constructed in the 1830s to the design of James and George Richard Pain replacing an earlier house. In 1962 it was sold to Bernard McDonough, an American of Irish descent, who turned it into a top class hotel. The present Baron Inchiquin lives in Thomond House nearby.

Ballycar	Home of the Colpoys family in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Colpoys in 1786. It passed by marriage to the O'Callaghan family. The sale rental of 1850 describes Ballycar as a cottage style residence with 'a fine garden attached'. By the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was occupied by Edward Bennett who held the property from the Misses Abbott. At this time it was valued at £18. A house is still extant at the site.
Fenloe House	A red brick two storey 18th century house, home of the Hickman family for the 18th and 19th centuries. Hugh Poole Hickman was the occupier in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the house was valued at £28. He held the property from William Westby.
Granaghan	The home of the Hewitt family on the Moloney estate. Mr Tim Donoghoe was the occupier in 1814 The old house is now largely demolished and a new house has been erected on the site. The house valued at £12 was held by Thomas Hewitt from Croasdaile Moloney in the mid 19th century.
Rathlaheen House	A pink three storey house, home of a branch of the Vandeleur family in the 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Boyle Vandeleur. Also occupied by Boyle Vandeleur in 1814 and by John Scott Vandeleur in 1837 according to Lewis. It was the centre of the famous Rathlaheen Co-operative in the early 19th century. Following the bankruptcy of John Scott Vandeleur in the 1830s Pierce Creagh occupied the house holding it from the Vandeleurs. It later became a Stoney home. They were resident in 1906. The house is no longer extant.
Castlefergus	A Blood Smyth property from the late 18th century, sold by the Blood Smyth to the Bloods of Ballykilty in the early 20th century. This house was occupied by Daniel Powell in 1814 but the Blood Smyths were in residence in the 1830s and 1850s. They appear to have held the property from Ralph Westropp. The mansion house of Castlefergus was in the possession of Rev William Blood Smith in 1906. The Irish Tourist Association Survey File records that the house was demolished by the Irish Land Commission.
Leamaneigh More	Occupied by Patrick J. Coffey at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from Sir Edward Fitzgerald. The buildings were valued at £10. During the 1940s this property seems to have been known as Waverley. An extensive farm is extant at the site.
