House name	Description
Castlemagarret	In 1786, Wilson refers to CastleMacGarret as the seat of D.G. Browne, "a handsome seat, surrounded with one of the best wooded demeses in Ireland". The house, built in 1694, was destroyed by fire in August 1811 and a replacement built in the Tudor Gothic style. Robert Graham, in his journal of September 1836, refers to the fire and that "the present house is constructed out of the old offices, but is amazingly comfortable as far as it goes". Held in fee by Geoffrey Browne at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £25. The house functioned as a nursing home after it was sold by the Brownes in 1964. It is still extant but unoccupied. In 2015 it was offered for sale.
Ballygowan Cottage	A Prendergast home in the 19th century, now in an advanced state of disrepair. The property was held in fee by Richard Prendergast at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at almost £10.
Oldtown	A single storey house until the early 20th century when a second storey was added to part of the house. Occupied by the Bourkes from the 18th century until the 1920s and then by the Curran family. Restored by the present owner in the late 1990s.
Cuillaun	Part of the Oranmore and Browne estate in the mid 19th century, occupied by Frenches, Brownes and by Edward Rush at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the house was valued at £7. Now the home of the Donnellys.
