Buildings are still extant at the site.
Inchirourke More	The residence of Hunt Esq in the 1770s and in 1786. Occupied by Edward Hunt in 1814. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Robert Hunt held the house, valued at £6.5 shillings, and over 500 acres in the townland of Askeaton from Sir Matthew Blakiston. It is still extant.
Curraheen	The home of the Stephenson family for some of the 19th century. Slater's Directory of 1846 for the town of Rathkeale records Mr John Stephenson of Curraheen but no Stephenson is recorded in Curraheen South in Griffith's Valuation.
Rockfield Tower	At the time of Griffith's Valuation held by Tobias Delmege from Lord Southwell and valued at £9. This house is still in use as a residence.
Betty Ville House	This house is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. Located on the Blakiston estate, it was occupied by John Shaughnessy in the mid 19th century and held from the Messrs Young. It was valued at £5.
Foynes House	In 1837 Lewis describes a house on Foynes Island as a "handsome marine villa, the summer residence of the Earl of Dunraven". The 1st edition Ordnance Survey map shows a house named Foynes House on the southern part of the island. By the time of Griffith's Valuation this is in possession of Peter Griffin, leasing from the Spring-Rice estate and with a valuation of £1 15s. The later 25-inch Ordnance Survey map shows a much smaller property labelled Burneen, close to the site of Foynes House. This latter property is still extant.
