House name	Description
Ardcloony	A late 19th century house incorporating the earlier Bourchier home. Major General John Bourchier married Mary, daughter of Thomas Macnamara of Ardcloony in the mid 18th century and inherited the property. By the time of Griffith's Valuation the house belonged to Francis C. Fitzgerald who held the property in fee. It was valued at £20. Edmond Fitzgerald of Ardcloony owned 214 acres in county Clare in the 1870s. John Connell Fitzgerald was resident in 1906. A house is still extant at the site.
Millbrook	A 19th century house occupied by the families that ran the mill. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the occupier was Peter Macmillan who held the property from Thomas Arthur. The buildings were valued at £40. A house is still extant in the area but on an adjacent site.
Ballycuggaran	Weir writes that the present house dates from the late 19th century. An earlier building was in the possession of members of the Church of Ireland episcopacy. Occupied by Marcus Patterson in the mid 19th century and held by him in fee. The buildings were valued at £8. In 1906 Marcus Wyndham Patterson owned Ballycuggaran with 618 acres of untenanted land.

Kincora Lodge	A house on the outskirts of Killaloe, Weir writes that it was the home of an O'Brien family in the 1840s. Occupied by Captain Frederick Lowe, Royal Navy, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, who held it from Thomas Macnamara. Captain Lowe married Maria Christina, daughter of Henry Ross-Lewin of Ross Hill in 1847. In the 20th century the house belonged to the Butler-Stoneys for some time.
Fort Henry	Fort Henry, overlooking the Shannon River, was the residence of Stephen Hastings in 1814 and of Finch White in 1837. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson had also noted it as a Hastings residence. At the time of Griffiths Valuation, Finch White held the house from Stephen H. Atkins. It was valued at £28.15s. Finch White was related to the Atkins through marriage with a member of the Gelston family. In 1906 this house was in the possession of Frederick C.Henry. In 1840, however, the Ordnance Survey Name Books had also noted that J.J. Henry was the proprietor. It is still extant.
Gortna House	This house was located close to the shore of the River Shannon and is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map and the later 25 inch map as Gortna House. Lewis records H. Franks as resident at Shannon View in the parish of Templeachally. Henry Franks occupied a house valued at £12+ and held from Stephen H. Atkins at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Henry Franks was married to Elizabeth daughter of Ringrose Atkins. There are still buildings at this location.
Derry Castle	In 1786, Wilson writes that Derry Castle was the seat of Michael Head. Lewis records Derry Castle as the seat of M.P. Head. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books describe the demesne at Derry as "chiefly composed of platation and ornamental ground. Derry House (a commodious building) is the residence of Michael Petty Head". By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held by Francis Spaight in fee, the buildings were valued at £71. ''The Nenagh Guardian'' of 15 April 1872 report on a bad fire at Derry Castle. Spaight family members appear to be still resident in the early 20th century. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that the castle is now demolished.
Mary Ville	This house is marked as Mary Ville on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to it as "a respectable farmhouse and offices" the proprietor of which was Michael Head. This may be the house recorded by Lewis as Derry Ville inhabited by J. Salmon. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Mrs Mary Sparling was resident, holding the lodge valued at £13 from Francis Spaight. Buildings are still extant at this site.
Ryninch	Lewis records J. O'Brien of Ryninch and Jeremiah O'Brien held a house valued at £10 and 115 acres from Francis Spaight in the mid 19th century. There were quarries in this townland.
Lakeview	Henry D. Head occupied a house valued at £14+ in this townland in the mid 19th century. He held the property in fee. A house and large farmyard are now located at this site.
