House name	Description
Levally	Home of the Fair family for a time in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by James Simpson from the Earl of Lucan's estate and valued at £5. It is described as a "Herd's House". It was unoccupied in the early years of this century and for sale in 2007. Demolished in September 2007.
Robe Villa	A town house on the River Robe, home of the Kenny family for 200 years, sold by them in the early 1980s to the Ballinrobe Rugby Club.
Kilrush	A house in the village of Hollymount, leased by Christopher Bowen from Reverend Christopher Bowen's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £25. Only a few walls remain now.
Kilrush House	Built as an agricultural school in the 1830s, it was not a success and swiftly closed. The property was rented in the 1850s from the Lindseys by Francis Laurie, a farmer from Scotland. He died in 1865 and James Simpson took over the lease. Charles Bingham Jenings and his wife, formerly of Mount Jenings, lived at Kilrush for the first three years of the 20th century. The building is now a ruin.
Hollymount	A very early 18th century house built by Archbishop John Vesey of Tuam, altered in the 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Lindsay. It was held in fee by Thomas S. Lindsay at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £61. The home of the Lindsey Fitzpatricks until 1922 and of Mr J Loftus in the 1940s, now a ruin.
Liskilleen	Built by Courtney Kenny in 1862. He was also the owner of the townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation when a herd's house existed there. It is still extant and occupied.
Carravilla	There are actually two houses known as Carravilla and both are marked on the Ordnance Survey map of 1838. The house located at M265 637 is named Carravilla House and is situated in a small demesne. The other, smaller, house is located at M262 641. Carravilla was occupied by Robert Fair in the 1830s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation William Ruttledge occupied Carravilla which he held from David Watson Ruttledge. Both houses are still extant.
Bloomfield	Built circa 1776, it was the seat of the Ruttledge family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Robert Ruttledge and valued at £50. It was also the seat of Robert Ruttledge in 1894. Sold to the Land Commission in 1924 and later abandoned following a fire.
Gallow's Hill	Occupied by James Simpson at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the buildings were valued at £20 and leased from the Earl of Lucan's estate. On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map the name "Gallowshill" is attached to linear set of structures set out in small plots. This has disappeared by the 25-inch edition map of the 1890s and the substantial structure leased by Simpson is located some distance away. The site of this is now almost completely overgrown.
Brownstown	In 1786 Wilson refers to Brownstown as the seat of Mr. Browne. This house is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but marked 'in ruins' on the later 25-inch edition. The townland was in the possession of George Browne at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Irish Tourist Association file describes the house as a 3-storey T shaped plain residence, uninhabited for about 60 years.
Clooncormick	Home of the Gildea family in the 19th century and of the McCartan family in the late 20th century until it was destroyed by a fire. Francis Knox Gildea was leasing from James Knox Gildea at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the property was valued at £45. No trace of the house remains but much of the stable yard is still extant.
Cornfield	Cornfield was the original Ruttledge home in the Hollymount area and continued to be lived in by family members until the 20th century, although it was replaced as the family's principal residence by Bloomfield. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Ruttledge. In the mid 19th century it was the home of Thomas Ruttledge who married Jane Fair. He was leasing from Robert Ruttledge and the buildings were valued at £20. The existing dwelling is part of the original house, as are the ruins beside it. Local sources suggest that portions of the original house were demolished when the property was acquired by the Land Commission and some of the stone used to build houses in Hollymount village
Garriestown	This was a Walsh family home in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased by Thomas Walsh from Robert Rutledge when it was valued at £11. Garriestown is now a large farming enterprise and the house is still lived in.
Lehinch	A house marked on the Taylor and Skinner's map but not on the first Ordnance Survey map. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Valentine Blake. The walls of the garden still remain and this was the venue for the Hollymount Show at one time.
