House name	Description
St Catherines	An O'Callaghan property from the 18th century, George O'Callaghan was residing at St Catherines in 1814 and D. Sampson in 1837. Burkes 1904 records George's brother Edward "of Coolready" and he was married to a Miss Sampson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was unoccupied and Ralph Westropp was the immediate lessor. The buildings were valued at £24. Only the servants' quarters now remain and have been converted into a family home.
Coolreagh	In 1814 Coolrea was occupied by Cor O'Callaghan and in 1837 by Ralph Westropp, who was leasing the property to Robert Studdert by the mid 19th century. The buildings were valued at £28. At the end of the 19th century it was the home of Colonel George O'Callaghan Westropp. The East Clare golf clubhouse now occupies the site, possibly incorporating some of the old house.
Ballyvannan	The seat of Lord Dunboyne in 1837 and in the mid 19th century of James Crotty who held it from Lord Dunboyne when the buildings were valued at £3. The house is still occupied.
Drewsborough	A home of the Drew family from the mid 18th century, occupied by Ringrose Drew in 1814 and by Francis Drew in 1837. Bought by Michael Skehan in the Encumbered Estates Court, he is recorded as being resident at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the house was valued at over £22. Drewsborough, or Victoria Park as it was then known, was sold to William Scanlon in 1869. In 1899 it was bought by John O'Brien, grandfather of Edna O'Brien, the author. The original house was burnt in June 1921. A modern bungalow has been built on part of the site and the O'Brien home is closeby. Some farm buildings and an underground cellar still remain.
Ballinahinch	A branch of the Molony family appear to have occupied Ballinahinch for some time in the 18th century. Occupied by Cornelius O'Callaghan in 1814 and 1837 and by his son Charles George in the mid to late 19th century. It is recorded as his seat in 1894. By 1906 Ballynahinch mansion house valued at £45 was in the possession of the Gore family. Weir writes that owners left when the "Troubles" began early in the 20th century and the house was vandalised. It was later demolished. The yard buildings remain and are still in use.
Derrymore	The MacGraths had a 17th century home here which was incorporated into the servants' quarters when the Gores built their 18th century mansion. They continued to occupy the house until the early 20th century. The 17th century house and servants' quarters still stand but the rest of the house has been demolished. Some of the stone and stone features from Derrymore were taken to build a house near Drewsborough on the outskirts of Scarriff, Discovery Map 58, R637 836.
Kilbarron	A property originally associated with the Ryan family. Mr Robert McGrath was residing at Kilbaron in 1814 and in 1837 Lewis records that E. McGrath rebuilt the house "on the site of the old mansion". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the buildings valued at £6.5 shillings were held by Edward McGrath in fee. The house is now a ruin.
