House name	Description
Tintrim	Up to 1898 this house was in the barony of Leitrim, county Galway. It is now in the barony of Tulla Upper, county Clare. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John A. Burke was occuping the house valued at £11, at Tintrim, parish of Clonrush, barony of Leitrim, county Galway. Weir states that the house at Tintrim was probably built by John Anthony Burke of Clondegoff Castle nearby. He was most likely a member of the Burke family who lived at Meelick House, Whitegate at the same time. Tintrim continued in the possession of the Burke family as John Anthony Burke moved out to allow his son, Edmund, and his family to live there until the house was sold in 1867. The house later passed to the Madden family and is still extant and occupied. The Irish Tourist Association file records state that John A. Burke died in 1857 though the family history suggests he died in 1863. The Tourist Association file also notes that in 1933 there was a search for the heirs of his reputed son, Martin Edward Burke, in Australia.
Meelick	Weir states that Meelick was a Burke house in the seventeenth century when Burkes, originally from Clondegoff Castle, in the barony of Longford, settled here. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Walter Blake was occupying the house at Meelick, parish of Clonrush, barony of Leitrim, valued at £17. In 1814 this property was the residence of Matthew Yelverton. The OS Name Books record Meelick as the home of Mr. Gilbertson. Lewis recorded it as "uninhabited" in 1837. There is still an occupied house at Meelick. The Irish Tourist Association file for the parish of Clonrush refers to Meelick as a substantial house with a concrete roof, ancestral home of the Burkes.
Drummaan	Drummaan House is described as "in ruins" on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey. The ruins have disappeared by the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. This townland is now located in county Clare.
Knockbrack	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Joshua Seward was leasing a house valued at almost £10 at Drummaan East, barony of Leitrim. Since 1898 this house has been located in county Clare. This seems to be the house shown on the 1st edition OS map as Knockbrack. A house valued at £14 at Drummaan East, county Clare, was owned by Maj. Gen. Spencer Cooper in 1906.
Gweeneeny	John Sheehy was occupying a property valued at £8 at Gweeneeny, barony of Leitrim, county Galway at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This property has been located in county Clare since 1898.
Woodpark (Woodpark Lodge)	Phillip Read was occupying Woodpark, parish of Inishcaltra, valued at £28, at the time of Griffiths Valuation. It was also recorded as his seat by Lewis in 1837. The OS Name Books record the existence of Woodpark House in Woodpark townland, "the residence of counsellor Reid". The house later passed by marriage to the Hibbert family. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Robert Fiennes Hibbert. In 1906 the house was valued at £69, the property of Flora J. Hibbert. It was destroyed by fire in June 1921. The site of this house is now located in county Clare.

Williamstown Hotel	Joshua Seward was leasing a building valued at £7 to the City of Dublin Steam Packet company at Drummaan East, barony of Leitrim, county Galway, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This building functioned as the Williamstown Hotel. The original hotel building is no longer extant but the stable block remains and is used as a house. Following 1898 boundary revisions this property is now located in county Clare.
Williamstadt House	Previously the residence of the Brady family, Williamstadt passed to Dr.Francis Sampson through marriage in 1833. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was valued at £10 and Sampson was leasing it from James Egan. Up to 1898 this house would have been in county Galway. The house is still extant and occupied.
Moneenroe/Drummaan House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Anthony Holland was leasing a property valued at £6 from James Egan, at Drummaan East, barony of Leitrim, county Galway. This seems to correspond to the property labelled Moneenroe on the 1st edition OS map. Other members of the Holland family were leasing lands from Egan in the same townland. On the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s this house is labelled Drummaan, the previous house of that name having disappeared. There is still an extant house at this site which is now located in county Clare.

Occupied by Marcus Patterson in the mid 19th century and held by him in fee. The buildings were valued at £8. In 1906 Marcus Wyndham Patterson owned Ballycuggaran with 618 acres of untenanted land.

The estate was sold to the Gleeson family who owned the Athlone Woollen Mills in 1901 and the house later became the property of Dr Carmody who opened a health centre. The property was offered for sale in 2012.
Moynoe	In the early 18th century the Ringrose family lived at Moynoe. It is probable that Sir John Reade built the late 18th century house. He was the occupier in 1814 and Fitzgibbon Hinchy was living in the house in 1837. The house was unoccupied at the time of Griffith's Valuation, Thomas Wadson was the immediate lessor. The Sampson family lived in it for the remainder of the 19th century and well into the 20th century. Edward MacLysaght surveyed the papers of Miss Mary Sampson of Moynoe circa 1944.
