| Cahercon/Cahiracon | A house situated on the bank of the Shannon, the seat of the Scott family until at least the 1850s. The sale rental of 1854 gives a detailed description of the house which included 16 bedrooms. By the mid 19th century James Kelly held the house in fee. The buildings were valued at over £53. The Honourable Charles William White, second surviving son of Baron Annally, was living at Cahiracon in the mid 1870s and it was a seat of that family in 1894. The Vandeleurs lived here for a short time at the beginning of the 20th century. Bought by the Maynooth Mission to China in 1920 and sold by them to the Salesian Sisters of St John Bosco in 1962. The house later became the centre of Cahercon Community College. Cahercon is now owned by Clareman Paddy Whelan of Limestone Quarries. |

The Ordnance Field Name Books state that Peter Griffin was the proprietor circa 1840 and that his father had erected this house about 80 years previously. It is still extant though with modern housing now occupying much of the surrounding area. The 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s also shows a house known as Corgrig Lodge in the same townland at R253511. | |

This three-storied house was situated on the Monteagle estate and was occupied by John Griffin in 1814 and by the Reverend George Vincent, rector of Shanagolden in 1837. His son Arthur Vincent was resident in the early 1850s when the house was valued at £20 and in the 1870s when he is recorded as owning 267 acres in county Limerick. It is no longer extant. | |

The sale notice describes Woodcliffe as" beautifully situated, commanding a view of the Shannon". Held by Richard E.
