House name	Description
Moate View	Moate View is situated on the outskirts of the town of Moate and predates much of the town. It is a detached five-bay two-storey house, built 1762, verified by a cut stone date stone inscribed ‘James Clibborn built this house anno domini 1762’. O’Brien writes that James Clibborn was the son of Joshua Clibborn and his wife Sarah Lecky. His second son William Cooper Clibborn inherited the house and was the occupant at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) holding the building valued at £32 from Thomas H Mulock MP. It is still the home of Clibborn family members.
Belville	O’Brien writes that Belville was built about 1775 for Richard Cuppaidge and by the early 1780s was occupied by the Jones family. It remained the Jones family home until at least the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) when Gustavus Jones Junior was resident. The house was valued at £23. It is now a ruin.
Carn Park	Carn Park was built by the Adamson family in the late 18th century. Travers Adamson, son of William Gustavus Adamson was resident in 1814 and W G Adamson in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) the property was in Chancery, Robert Adamson was the occupant and the buildings were valued at £24. On 17 June 1870 when the house and lands were advertised for sale in the Land Court the house was described as a ‘commodious dwelling house (with suitable out offices) on Lot 1, which, although somewhat out of repair, is capable (at a moderate outlay) of being made a comfortable residence for a gentleman and his family. The house is prettily situated on the slope of a hill, commanding an extensive view’. It was bought by the Rev Thomas Thompson Gray of Dorrington, Drumraney, who was Vice Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, 1916-1924. The house was demolished in the mid-20th century.
Glynwood House	Glynwood house is located east of Athlone. The original house was constructed about 1790 by Francis Longworth and rebuilt about 1860 by John Longworth (1798-1881). A new house in the Italianate style was built in the early 1880s for Francis Travers Dames Longworth to the design of George Moyers. On 1 February 1918, a few lines in the Belfast News-Letter stated that Glynwood House, Athlone, the family mansion of the Dames-Longworth family, had been destroyed by fire. It is now an ivy covered ruin. See https://houseandheritage.org/2018/02/01/glynwood-house/ The present Glynwood House, formerly the agent’s house is located to the northwest of the site of the original Glynnwood House and dates from the late 19th century.
