House name	Description
Pyrmont House	Wilson refers to "Fyrmont" as the seat of George Leake in 1786. In 1837 Lewis recorded this house as the seat of W. Sandes. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the representatives of Lord Hallyburton's estate were leasing this property to William Sandes, whom Bary describes as the most "fair-minded" of the Sandes family and a noted horseman. The house was valued at £13 10s at the time. Prymount was included in the sale of the Gun Mahony estate in 1856 when William Sandes was recorded as the tenant from year to year. It later passed to the Sandes of Swallowglen and was subsequently demolished.
Woodlands or Aghana	Robert Leslie was leasing this property to Pierce Leslie at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 15s. Lewis records it as the seat of Pierce Leslie in 1837. Bary notes that Robert Leslie was reared by Pierce Leslie, the owner of this property, when he succeeded his father at a young age. The house seems to have been known at times as Aghana House and is still extant and occupied
Tarbert House	Tarbert House was owned by Robert Leslie at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £24 10s. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis, in 1837, note it as the seat of R. Leslie. In 1906 it was valued at £25. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the house was built c.1720. In 1786 Wilson describes it as "happily situated on an eminence commanding an extensive view". The house has remained in the Leslie family since that time though the estate was sold to the tenants c.1904. It is open to the public during the summer months.
Leslie Lodge or Shanaway	Pierce Mahony was leasing this property to James Patterson at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12. Wilson refers to it as a seat of Robert Leslie in 1786. In 1814 Leet refers to Leslie Lodge as the residence of John Parker. Lewis, in 1837, records the purchase of the property by Col. D.G. Halliburton In 1856, it is included in the sale of the estate of George Phillip Gun Mahony, a minor, when it is described as untenanted. In 1906, Stephen Collis owned a property at Shanaway East, valued at £6. It is no longer extant.
Tieraclea Lodge	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Tieraclea was occupied by Stephen Collis, when it was valued at £42. An extensive farmyard is recorded here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The house is labelled as Tieraclea on the later 25-inch map and by 1906 Tieraclea was valued at £45. Bary writes that it had been a residence of the Collis family since the eighteenth century and they continued there until the 1920s. In the early years of the twentieth century the house was destroyed by fire but was re-built and is still extant.
Farranawana House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, this property was being leased by St. John Blacker to the trustees of Glin Poor Law Union, as an auxilliary workhouse. By 1895 it is labelled on the Ordnance Survey map as Farrawanna House. A house and farm buildings are still extant at the site.
Burrane	The Hodges lived here for over a hundred years following a marriage in 1754 with a Monsell of Burrane though Wilson still refers to it as the seat of Mr. Monsell in 1786. It was held from the Reeves family of nearby Besborough who came to hold the head rent through an 18th century marriage with a Spaight of Burrane. Weir writes that the house was demolished in the early 20th century.
Besborough	Occupied by Reverend Theobald Butler in 1837 and still in his possession at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the property from Letitia Hickman and it was valued at over £22. By the 1870s this house was the home of Robert William Cary Reeves and it was still in his possession in 1906. Later in the 20th century the house became the home of the Hassett and Sexton families.
Carrowdotia House	A house on the Vandeleur estate, it was the residence of William Daxon in 1814 and of R.D.Daxon in 1837. Valued at £17 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and occupied by James Cathro. This house now appears to be the centre of a working farm.
Woodlawn House	Situated on the Hickman estate, this house valued at over £13 was unoccupied at the time of Griffith's Valuation and the lease held by Denis Culligan. Joseph Studdert had occupied the house in 1837. He was a grandson of Maurice Studdert of Elm Hill, county Limerick. One of Joseph's sons married Mary Gore of Tyredagh Castle and the Gore Hickmans appear to have occupied the house in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This house is now a ruin.
Oaklands	A one storey 18th century house on the Hickman estates occupied by William Henn in 1814 and by R. Hunt in 1837. The residence of the Bennett family from at least the mid 19th century and sold by the Misses Bennett in 1929.
Doonnagurroge Castle	Weir writes that this is a 17th century house with a Hodges coat of arms over a door. William Monsell is recorded as the proprietor of Donogroge, Kilrush in 1814. Situated on the Hickman estate it was occupied by George Crowe Hodges in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Clare Journal (17 Nov 1856) records the death of this gentleman aged 70. The home of the Talty family in the later part of the 19th century.

Westwood	Reverend P. Fitzgerald wrote in 1826 that Lancelot Kiggell "lately built a beautiful cottage adjoining a fine old wood near Glin". This house was occupied by Lieutenant Hyde Royal Navy in 1837 and by John F.E. Fitzgerald, heir to the Knight of Glin in the early 1850s. The house shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s is much reduced in size and it is no longer extant.
Shannon View (Tarbert)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard Hinde held a farmhouse at Coolnanoonagh, valued at £2 15s. A house labelled Shannon View appears at this location on the 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey map, published in the 1890s. A house is still extant at the site.
