House name	Description
Ballintlea	Weir writes that the original house dates from 1696. Ballintlea was occupied by John Kelly in 1837, who is recorded as holding the property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Kellys appear to have bought Ballintlea from the D'Esterres. The Kelly and Kelly Roche families have resided there ever since. Fitzjames Kelly was in possession in 1906.
Cratloe Woods	An 17th century house with a 19th century addition, the Irish home of the Stafford O'Briens and still in the family's possession. On the first edition Ordnance Survey map this house appears to straddle the border of the townlands of Cratloe and Portdrine. The house was held by Augustus Stafford at the time of Griffith's Valuation, valued at £24. In 1894 it was the seat of F.H.Stafford-O'Brien. It is still extant.
Cratloe House	Another house belonging to the Stafford O'Brien family, held by Augustus Stafford in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation and valued at £12. Lewis records this house in the parish of Killeely and Cratloe Woods in the parish of Kilfintinan. Leet records Don O'Brien as resident at Cratloe, county Limerick, in 1814. In 1786 Wilson refers to Cratlagh-Hall as a seat of Mr. O'Brien. Possibly either part of the same building complex as Cratloe Woods or the nearby premises labelled Cratloekeel Castle on both the 1st edition and 25-inch Ordnance Survey maps.
Deerpark	Home of the Daltons for much of the 18th century. Occupied by Simon O'Donnell in 1814 and by Edward Maunsell (son of George of the Ballywilliam, county Limerick family) in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £30. Maunsell held the property from Matthew Canny. Inherited by Maunsell's fifth son Thomas. It was sold to Shannon Development in the 20th century.
Rossmanagher House	A D'Esterre home, occupied by Lieutenant Colonel William O'Brien in 1837 and by Solomon Frost in the mid 19th century, when it was valued at £7. Historians and archaeologists believe that this building, some of which still survives, dates to the sixeenth or seventeenth century.
Rossmanagher Cottage	The house in the townland of Newpark is named Rossmanagher Cottage on the first Ordnance Survey map. This was another D'Esterre home, occupied by Richard K. D'Esterre at the time of Griffith's Valuation, valued at £10 and held from Caleb Powell. The remains of a building are still extant at the site.
Springfield	Weir writes that the Morice family probably built this house which was located on the Wood estate. It is recorded as the residence of Henry Wilson in 1814 and of F. Morice in 1837. Griffith's Valuation records that Francis Morice held the property from George A. Wood in the mid 19th century. The house was valued at £28. This house which was renovated is still inhabited.
Bunratty	Built in 1804 for Thomas Studdert, it was a Studdert home throughout the 19th century and for part of the 20th century. The house was used by Shannon Development as their offices for some time and it is now part of the Bunratty Folk Park.
Bunratty Castle	In the 1680s Bunratty was the principal seat of the Earl of Thomond. In the early 18th century the castle and demesne were leased to Thomas Studdert by the Earl of Thomond and the castle became a Studdert residence. In 1786 Wilson refer to a seat of Mr. Studdert at Bunratty. For some time in the mid 19th century it served as an Royal Irish Constabulary barracks. In 1894 it was the seat of Capt. Richard Studdert.
Bunratty Lodge	Originally a Spaight home, inhabited by Richard Dawson and his wife Ellen Studdert. Richard Dawson was the third son of Charles Dawson of Charlesfort, county Wexford and left an only son also named Richard who lived in this house at the time of Griffith's Valuation, holding it from Thomas Studdert. In 1837 Lewis wrote that this house immediately adjoined the village of Bunratty and was the residence of Mrs Paliser.
Mellon	The Westropp family are recorded as "of Mellon" from the early 18th century. Bence Jones dates the present house from circa 1780, the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books from 1812. Inhabited by Mrs Jane Westropp (nee Dawson) in the early 1850s. It was valued at £36. This 3 storied house was still in Westropp possession in the late 20th century. It is now run as a stud.
Ballynacarriga	The Ordnance Survey Field Name Books describe this house as "falling into decay", the property of Mr Enright. By 1837 a Mr Dawson was the proprietor of Ballynacarriga House and in the early 1850s it was occupied by Dawson L. Westropp. In 1906 Ballynacarriga valued at £20.10 shillings was occupied by Norris Richard Russell.
