House name	Description
Newport House	Built in the late 18th century, this house was the main residence of the O'Donels in the 19th century. It now functions as a hotel.
Ross House	Ross House was built by Lewis O'Donel, a son of Lewis O'Donel of Killeen, Crossmolina, county Mayo and a first cousin of the first Sir Neal O'Donel, baronet. The house was inhabited by Captain and Mrs William Houstoun at the time of Griffith's Valuation. They later moved to Doolough and Delphi in the barony of Murrisk. The house was purchased by Middleton O'Malley about 1880 and Slater records it as his residence in 1894. It is now the home of Mrs Meike Blackwell, whose mother-in-law was an O'Malley.
Raigh Lodge	At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house held by Nathaniel P. Simes in fee, was valued at £6. The premises shown at this site on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s is labelled Clew Bay Hotel. A house is still extant and occupied here.
Wilford Lodge	This house may have been named after Lieutenant Colonel Richard R. Wilford who held a lease of the property from the Arbuthnot family in 1786. It was also leased to Reverend George Graydon, Sir Samuel O'Malley and Thomas G. FitzGerald and A. T. Oram, as detailed in the Westport Papers. Charles Pridham was the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings are still extant at the site.

Ardagh Lodge	Ruane writes that it was built as a yachting lodge in the 1790s for the Palmer family. It was the residence of the Stuart family during the bathing season in the 1830s. Bought by the Stoney family in 1965. A house is still extant at the site.
Milcum House	Ruane states that this house was built in 1754 by the Browne family [of Westport] and that it was first known as 'Seamount'. There was another Milcum house, built in the small townland of Milcum by the Binghams in the early 18th century, which was the house marked 'in ruins' on the first Ordnance Survey map. Seamount was occupied by Connell O'Donel in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was unoccupied but in the possession of Nathaniel P. Simes. In the 20th century it was the home of Miss Laprimandaye, Sir Anthony Beever, the Brittains, the Percivals and Mr and Mrs Peter Mullowney. Milcum is still extant and occupied.

Substantial buildings are shown at the site on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but these have all but disappeared by the publication of the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Some of the old outbuildings have been converted into a house.

Jonathan Pim was the owner of the townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation but there were no buildings with substantial valuation.
