House name Description
Prospect (Kiltartan) Occupied by A. Nolan in 1814. Lewis records Prospect as the seat of Nolan in 1837. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it appears to have been part of the estate of the representatives of Vicesimus Knox and leased to William Mulville. The house is still extant and occupied.

Ashfield House The house at Ashfield seems to have been known as Clooneene, particularly when it was the home of the Blake Forster family. In 1814 it was the home of Francis Blake Forster but by 1837 Lewis records it as in the ownership of D. McNevin. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson wrote that it was the seat of Mr. Forster. Ashfield House is demolished but substantial parts of the walled garden and the gate lodge are still extant. Photo of Ashfield House
Ballygeagin House In 1837 Lewis lists Ballygaggen as a residence of the Butler family. Timothy Killeen was renting the house in the townland of Ballygaagin, barony of Kiltartan, from Robert J. Lattey in 1855 when it was valued at £10. Though buildings still exist at the site the original house is not extant.
Cregg House The house at Cregg seems to have been built by Francis Butler in the 18th century. Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Butler in 1786. In 1814 it was the residence of Walter Butler and Lewis also records it as a Butler house. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Robert J. Lattey and was valued at £25. This also included the premises known as Cregg Cottage which was located in the demesne. In 1906 it was owned by Robert Thomas Lattey and was valued at £33. The original house is no longer extant.

Rosepark House Tradition suggests that Francis Blake Forster let Clooneene (Ashfield) and built a house which he called Rosepark, after his wife, Rose Ffrench. Rosepark House is recorded by Lewis in 1837 as the seat of the Hugo family. It was leased by Michael Kane to George Crowe at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was then valued at £12. Apart from some estate walls there is no evidence of this property now.
Russaun (Russane) Russaun, sometimes spelt Russane, appears to have become part of the Gregory estate, though occupied by the Bagot family, by the mid-19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by William Gregory to John Bagot. However, in 1837 it was recorded by Lewis as the residence of the Lahiffe family. It is still extant and occupied.

Ballyturin At the time of Griffith's Valuation Ballyturin House was the residence of John Bagot. In 1906 John C. Bagot was the owner of the house which was valued at £17. It was located in a commanding position overlooking rolling countryside. In May 1921, an RIC man (District/Inspector Cecil Blake), his wife and two British Army officers (Capt Cornwallis and Lt McCreery) were killed in an ambush by South Galway/East Clare Irish Volunteers at the gates of Ballyturin House. Margaret, Mrs Robert Gregory of Coole Park (Lady Gregory's daughter-in-law) escaped without injury. Ballyturin is now a ruin. Photo of Ballyturin
River View River View was recorded as a seat of the Lopdell family by Lewis in 1837. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was owned by the representatives of Vicisimus Knox and was being leased by the Vereker estate when it was valued at £5. It is now in ruins.
Rosemeade/Lisheen At the time of Griffith's Valuation this property was leased by Matthew Rosengrave to Patrick Carrick and valued at £21. It was accompanied by over 200 acres. In 1814 Lisheen was the seat of Jer. Rosingrave. The house is labelled on both the first and 25-inch editions of the Ordnance Survey map as Rosemeade but today is known as Lisheen. It is still extant and occupied as a farm house. Photo of Rosemeade/Lisheen
Rosehill The house at Rosehill is included in the sale of the estate of Denis Boland of Gort, in the Land Judges' Court, in the 1880s. It appears on the 1st editon Ordnance Survey map but is not marked on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. An old entrance gateway survives. Photo of Rosehill
Rindifin Cottage In 1786 Wilson refers to Rhyndifen as the seat of Prendergast Smyth. Lewis records Rhyndifin as the seat of the Blaquiere family in 1837. It was occupied by Mary Moloney at the time of Griffith's Valuaiton, leasing from the Knox estate and was valued at £4. The entrance gateway is extant and a house still occupies the original site.

Tiraloughan In 1906 Lord Gough owned a property valued at almost £4 at Tiraloughin, parish of Beagh as well as over 100 acres of untenanted land. A house still exists at this location.
