Quarrymount	Built in the 1830s, Quarrymount [also known as Kilcloony] was the home of the Bodkin family in the latter half of the 19th century and is reputed to have replaced an early home in the nearby townland of Ardnagall. The house was leased to Edward O'Kelly in 1881 for 31 years. By the early 20th century it was in the hands of the Congested Districts' Board and passed onto the Land Commission who sold the house and 220 acres to the Gordon family.

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.
Oory/Coarsefield	It is probable that the townland of Coarsefield was part of Oory in the 18th century and that Oory was divided into two townlands at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The remains of an old house are still visible at Coarsefield, close to the present house, and it is believed that this was Oory House, home of the Bourkes and later owned by the Nettervilles. In 1814 "Course-field" belonged to James Netterville. The sales rental of the Gray estate of Coarsefield in 1861 refers to one wall remaining of the old Netterville house.

It was valued at £4 and was located on the estate of Lord Oranmore and Browne. Now derelict it was last occupied by the Dillon family.
Cloontreston	The notice advertising the sale of Michael Francis Treston's property at Cloontooa, barony of Clanmorris states that "the dwelling house with the offices, garden and demesne, known as Cloontreston, is in fair order and condition, suitable as a residence for a gentleman". At the time of Griffith's Valuation the townland was owned by John Treston who also held a herd's house there. The house is labelled Cloontreston on twentieth century maps.
