Elmhall Built by Gerald Cuff early in the 18th century, it was let to the Jordans of Murrisk in the 1770s and to a branch of the Browne family of Westport from the 1780s until the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as a seat of the Rt.Hon. James Cuffe. In 1837 the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map notes that it was 'in ruins'. The Irish Tourist Association File states that Elmhall is said to have been burnt in 1798. Only some fragments of walls remain at the site. Photo of Elmhall
Athavallie The house at Moat was the main residence of the Lynch Blosses in the 18th and the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to Moat, the seat of Sir Henry L. Blosse. A fire destroyed the original house in 1808. It was rebuilt and is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as Attavally. The Lynch Blosse family were absentee landlords for most of the 19th century. In 1894 the house was recorded as the seat of Sir Henry Lynch-Blosse. Later the house became a community school run by the St Louis nuns. It is now known as Balla Secondary Schoool.
