House name Description
Clonderalaw Weir writes that this house was either built or bought by a branch of the Studderts of county Limerick in the mid 18th century and that it remained their home until the mid 20th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Studdert. It was part of the Wandesforde estate in county Clare. It was the home of Mrs Gore (nee Studdert) in the 1940s but according to the Irish Tourist Association surveyor it was not in good repair and "likely to go the way of all the other big houses of Clare". However it has survived into the 21st century with its roof on. In 1894 it was the residence of Captain George Studdert.
Thornberry House Originally a Brew family home, then a rectory and by the mid 19th century in the possession of the Studdert family held from Jane Robinson. Later the home of Colonel Thomas Lloyd. The house was demolished in 1949.

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.
Kilmore The home of a branch of the Hickman family in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Hickan. Inherited by the Gores in the 1860s. Burnt in July 1922. Photo of Kilmore
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. Photo of Doonnagurroge Castle
