House name	Description
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.
Burtonhill House	Weir writes that this house was probably built by the Carrigaholt Burtons as a sporting lodge. It is marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. The Burton Conynghams had a large estate in the parish of Killeely so there can be no doubt that the house was named after them. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £11 and Edward H. Goggin was in residence. He held the property from Mrs Taylor. William B. Goggin of Burton Hill married Frances Maria Whitestone in the second half of the 19th century. see http://brew.clients.ch/RichardClare.htm
Summerhill House	Built on the Marquess of Conyngham's estate by the time of the first Ordnance Survey, this house valued at £10 was occupied by John Frost in the mid 19th century and it continued to be the home of the Frosts until the 1970s. A substantial farm still exists at the site.
Meelick House	A house built by the time of the first Ordnance Survey on the Marquess of Conyngham's estate and occupied by William Roche at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11. This house is no longer 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.
Clonmacken	Built in 1700 by Reverend Edmund Palmer according to the Ordnance Survey Field Book, this two-storey house was occupied by Henry D'Esterre in 1814, by Captain Vereker in 1834 and by 1839 was the seat of John Brown Finch. In the early 1850s it was the residence of John Sharp, situated on the Lansdowne estate, it was held from Lawrence Kelly.

Major Thomas Vandeleur was the occupier and the buildings were valued at £38. Occupied by Richard Parson in 1814, by G. Vandeleur in 1837 and by William Henry Harkness in the 1870s. Slater notes Lieut-Col. Lionel E. Massey as the owner in 1894. Still extant and occupied.
Elm Park	The records suggest that this house was built post 1814 and pre 1837 though there may have been an earlier property as Wilson refers to "Elm" as the seat of General Massey in 1786. Bence Jones writes that it was an early 19th century house. It was the home of the Massey family, Barons Clarina, in the 19th century. The buildings were valued at £90 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and in 1906. Bought by Patrick King in 1925 and home of the King family until 1956, now demolished.
Tervoe	Bence Jones writes that the house was built in 1776 by Colonel W.T. Monsell MP on the site of an earlier house. Wilson refers to it in 1786 as "the pleasant seat of W.T. Monsell". In 1894 Slater notes it as a residence of Lord Emly. A De La Poer grandson of the 1st Baron Emly succeeded to Tervoe in the 20th century and it was demolished in the 1950s. A detailed description of the interior of the house is given by the Irish Tourist Association surveyor in 1943.
