It is a four-bay two-storey house built in the early 19th century and may incorporate the fabric of an earlier house.

At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) John Rochfort held the house valued at £11 with 600 acres from Cooper Rochfort. In the possession of the Lawrence family for most of the 20th century.
The Cottage	The Cottage, Gallstown, is named on both the first edition OS map and the 25 inch. This was the seat of the North family at the end of the 18th century (O’Brien). By 1814 Hugh Sheil was resident and Lewis records Mrs Sheil of The Cottage. This family was related to the Sheils of Gortlumly. The house was occupied by Margaret Sheil at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), valued at £10 and held from Lord Kilmaine. Home of employees of Lord Kilmaine in the early 20th century. The house is no longer extant.
Gortumly	Lewis refers to John Sheil of Gortumly and a long building is evident in this townland on the first edition OS map. O’Brien writes that the Sheils were resident at Gortumly from the mid-18th century. Gortumly house is named on the 25 inch map and is located just south of the long building on the first edition map. O’Brien writes that the Sheils bequeathed the house to a Mr O’Neill about 1910. Patrick O’Neill, a farmer and clerk to the County Council, was resident with his family in 1911. The lands were later sold to the Land Commission and the house demolished.
Claremount House	The original house is named on the first edition OS map and the present house on the 25 inch map. It is a four-bay two-storey country house built after Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854) and replaced an earlier Claremount House, located to the northwest and marked on the Taylor and Skinner maps of the late 1770s, when occupied by Tyrrell Esq. From the mid-18th century this property was leased by the Tyrrells from the Rochforts of Belvedere. The present house was built and remained the home of the Ronaldsons until 2015 when it was advertised for sale.

In 1837 Mark Anthony Levinge was residence, as he was also at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854), when the house was valued at £34 and held with over 900 acres from Daniel Molloy. Tenison Levinge and his wife were the occupants in 1901 and 1911. The house is now demolished.

Gallstown	Gallstown/Gaulstown House was a large country house with extensive grounds as shown on the first edition OS map on which the house is named as Castletown, although the Taylor and Skinner map of the late 1770s refer to the house as Gaulstown Park. Its name changed to Gallstown House on the 25 inch map. It was an 18th century, three storey, seven-bay Palladian style house built by the 2nd Earl of Belvedere to replace the house in which his mother was imprisoned for over thirty years. In 1784 Sir John Browne of The Neale, Co Mayo, later 1st Baron Kilmaine, purchased the house from the 2nd Earl of Belvedere. Lord Kilmaine was recorded as resident in 1814, 1837 and at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854). Lewis refers to Gaulstown Park as the ‘splendid seat of Lord Kilmaine in the grounds of which is a very large larch tree, planted by Dean Swift’. The house was valued at £66 in the mid-19th century. O’Brien writes that the 5th Baron Kilmaine sold the house at Gallstown in 1918 and it was burnt in 1921 and the ruins demolished in the 1950s.
