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.
Moynoe	In the early 18th century the Ringrose family lived at Moynoe. It is probable that Sir John Reade built the late 18th century house. He was the occupier in 1814 and Fitzgibbon Hinchy was living in the house in 1837. The house was unoccupied at the time of Griffith's Valuation, Thomas Wadson was the immediate lessor. The Sampson family lived in it for the remainder of the 19th century and well into the 20th century. Edward MacLysaght surveyed the papers of Miss Mary Sampson of Moynoe circa 1944. Bought by the present owners in the mid 20th century, the house was demolished in 1998. see http://www.esatclear.ie/~moynoe/Page_16x.htm/
Fort Edward	Built post the first Ordnance Survey probably by a member of the Westropp family. Occupied by Dr Patrick Cullinan at the time of Griffith's Valuation who held it from the Reverend John Gleeson. The house is still inhabited and well maintained.
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.
Raheen	This was the home of the Brady family from the mid 18th century. In 1837 Reverend Thomas B. Brady occupied the house. By the time of Griffith's Valuation William Moreland was in possession and the house, offices and mill valued at £4.10 shillings were leased to Patrick Flynn. In 1906 buildings at Raheen ,which included a mansion house and 401 acres of untenanted land belonging to Robert W. Moreland, were valued at £37. In 1908 the property was bought by S.R. MacLysaght of Mallow, father of Dr Edward MacLysaght, genealogist. The Irish Tourist Association Survey file refers to Raheen Hospital beautifully situated amid a large forest on the shores of Lough Derg. The house no longer exists.
