Griffith's Valuation records Samuel Biggs as the occupier of the house, valued at £11 and held from Edward Biggs. The sale rental of November 1867 advertised the sale of a valuable leasehold, the estate of Samuel and Robert Biggs, at Gortmore (222 acres and dwelling house). The 22[2?] acre estate of Samuel Biggs at Gortmore was sold to John Samuel Clarke, the petitioner, in November 1867 for £650 (The Irish law times and solicitors' journal: Volume 1, 1868 - Page 679). A house is still located at this site. | |
Brookville (Ballygowan) | Lewis records Brookville as the seat of Martin White in 1837. He was leasing the property from the Aylward estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The estate was "in Chancery" at the time when the buildings were valued at £7. A house still exists at the site. | |
Palmerstown Cottage (Lodge) | At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Timothy Joyce was leasing this property from the Palmer estate when it was valued at £5. It is still extant but not currently occupied. | |
Newgrove House | In 1786 Wilson refers to Newgrove as the seat of Mr. Blake. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the property is described as a care-takers house, and leased to John H. Blake by the Wallscourt estate. It is labelled Newgrove House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but is described as "in ruins" on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s. | |
Summerhill House (Loughrea) | In 1786 Wilson writes that Summerhill House, on the outskirts of Loughrea, was the seat of Mr. Persse. By the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s, the property was occupied by Henry Dolpin, leasing from the Clanricarde estate, when it was valued at almost £8. Parts of the building have disappeared by the 1890s and the site is now part of a school. | |
Mount Pleasant (Loughrea) | In 1786 Wilson writes that Mount Pleasant was the seat of Mr. Daly. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland was in the possession of the Clanricarde estate but the only building with substantial valuation was the militia barracks. The house is no longer extant though the area is still known as Mountpleasant. |

Cottage (Loughrea) | In 1786 Wilson refers to Cottage as the seat of Mr. Varo [?]. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the property was leased by Bryan Rynn from the Clanricarde estate and valued at £4. The original house is no longer extant. | |
Fortlands House (Loughrea) | In 1786 Wilson refers to a charter-school at Loughrea and this premises is labelled on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. However, by the time of Griffith's Valuation, it appears to have reverted to use as a house, leased by John Smyth from the Clanricarde estate and valued at £11. The house at this location is labelled Fortlands House on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. A house is still extant at the site. | |
Crannagh House | There are references to a house owned by the Nugents at Crannagh in the eighteenth century but there is no substantial house shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. Slater refers to "Crane" as the seat of Arthur Nugent in 1846. The townland is in Arthur Nugent's possession at the time of Griffith's Valuation but there is only a caretaker's house of nominal valuation. However, the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s shows a substantial building labelled Crannagh House. This property is no longer extant. |
