House name	Description
Woodpark (Woodpark Lodge)	Phillip Read was occupying Woodpark, parish of Inishcaltra, valued at £28, at the time of Griffiths Valuation. It was also recorded as his seat by Lewis in 1837. The OS Name Books record the existence of Woodpark House in Woodpark townland, "the residence of counsellor Reid". The house later passed by marriage to the Hibbert family. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Robert Fiennes Hibbert. In 1906 the house was valued at £69, the property of Flora J. Hibbert. It was destroyed by fire in June 1921. The site of this house is now located in county Clare.
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/
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.
