House name	Description
Raheen	Raheen is associated with both the Kilkelly and O'Hara families. In the 1770s it seems to have been a residence of the Taylor family, with whom the O'Haras intermarried. In the 1830s the OS Name Books record it as "a neat house, in form like a cottage two stories high." Raheen House was badly damaged by fire in the latter part of the twentieth century. The entrance gateway is still extant.
Normangrove	In the 1850s the house at Normangrove, in the Kinvara area, was being leased by John O'Hara to Charles Higgins. In 1814 it had been recorded as the residence of John Burke and was also listed as a Burke house by Lewis in 1837. In 1906 Miss M.L. Forster held over 500 acres of untenanted land here as well as buildings valued at almost £3. The Forsters had held land at Normangrove at the time of Griffith's Valuation but no buildings. O'Connell states that the house was occupied until about 1914 and it fell into ruin therafter. The entrance and driveway lead to a farmyard and there is no trace of the house now.
Seapark House	This property is described as a caretaker's house on Christopher St. George's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £8. O'Connell states that it was locally known as "Foy's House" and was used as a fever hospital during the famine. It is now in ruins.
Ballyclery	The house at Ballyclery is described as a caretaker's house for the St.George estate. It was valued at £8 in 1855. An occupied house still exists at this site but may have been modernised.
Seamount	Seamount House was built by the Butlers of Cregg in the 18th century. O'Connell notes that Seamount was the residence of Maj. Theobald Butler, who had fought at the Battle of Waterloo, during the 1820s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Denis Hynes was leasing from Edmund Donnellan, when it was valued at £16. Dr. Hynes had purchased the house from the Butler estate. In the early 20th century it was given to the Sisters of Mercy and is now a school.
Thornville Lodge	O'Connell states that this house was built by the Bricknell or Bucknell family in the later 18th century. It was later occupied by the Bishop of Kilmacduagh, Dr. Ffrench. Kinvara parish records also indicate that Arthur and Clare Ireland lived here in the 1830s. This may be the same Arthur Ireland who held the post of Burser at Queen's College, Galway in the 1850s. The house is still extant.
Lydacan Lodge	Lydacan Lodge is recorded in the OS Name Books as the residence of John O'Hara. On the 1st edition OS maps the house is recorded as Lydacan Lodge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Lydacan is recorded as the property of James O'Hara where he held a herd's house and 200 acres.
Maryville House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Arthur Alexander occupied Maryville House at Cahermore, barony of Kiltartan, when it was valued at £8. Maryville Police Barracks was located nearby. The original Maryville House has disappeared and the house on the site of the barracks is known as Maryville House.
Drumharsna	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lord Ashtown owned the townlands of Drumharsna North and South, barony of Dunkellin. A herd's house in Drumharsna South was valued at £2. By 1906 the buildings at this property were valued at £14. These buildings are no longer extant.
Delamaine Lodge	According to O'Connell, Delamaine Lodge was occupied by a Huguenot merchant, Captain William de la Maine, in the late eighteenth century. It was later owned by the de Basterort family and afterwards by the Gregory estate. It is still extant.
