| Moore Hall | Built in 1795 and burnt down in 1923. The residence of George Henry Moore, MP, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £45. Slater refers to it as the seat of George A. Moore in 1894. The ruin is now owned by Coillte Teoranta. |

| Castlecarra | Granted to Sir Henry Lynch after the Restoration, it was the family's main home in county Mayo for much of the 18th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to Castle Carra as the seat of Mr. Lynch. The mansion house and offices at Castlecarra were described in 1844 by Samuel Nicholson as "now almost ruins". Castlecarra was leased to the Brownes of Castlecarra at this time and was part of their property for sale in 1852. The ruins of the original tower house are still extant but much of the surroundings are now covered by forestry. | |
| Partry House | Bence-Jones describes the house, situated on the shore of Lough Carra, as Georgian with a Wyatt window above the porch. It is likely that it incorporates an earlier house built in the latter part of the 17th century. In 1786 Wilson mentions "Cloonlagheen" as the seat of Mr. Lynch. It was the seat of the Lynch/Blosse Lynch family for three centuries. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fee by Henry Lynch Blosse and valued at £14. Owned briefly by David Shaw Smith in the 1990s, now the home of Lorraine O'Donoghue. |

| Castleburke | A home of the Bourke family and their descendants. Occupied by Patrick Horan in 1814 and from 1821 James Tuohy was the tenant. The castle was in ruins by the time of the first Ordnance Survey circa 1838. It is now owned by Eamonn de Burca. |
