Tullira	Lewis records Tillyra as the seat of J. Martyn. Tullira was originally a tower house which was modified at various times. The OS Name Books record it as a tower house with a modern house attached. The gardens included a hot house. In 1906 it was the property of Edward Martyn when the buildings were valued at £100. It is still extant and was the home of Lord and Lady Hemphill in the 20th century. It has had a number of owners since then and in 2013 was offered for sale.
Castle Taylor/Ballymagrath	The house at Castle Taylor, originally known as Ballymacrath, was built adjacent to a tower house. The Taylor family had been settled there since the 17th century. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of Gen. Sir. J. Taylor. In 1894 and 1906 it was the residence of Walter Shawe Taylor and was valued at £50. It is now in ruins.
Monksfield	The house at Monksfield had originally belonged to the Morgan family who were of Welsh origin. Evidence from the 17th century records shows that they acquired land in this area in the later 17th century. In 1837 Lewis recorded Monksfield as the seat of Capt. Morgan. It had to be sold in the mid-19th century due to debts. By the 1850s it was the residence of Thomas Shawe-Taylor.In 1906 it was owned by Walter Shawe Taylor and was valued at £14. Kelly, writing in 1976, indicated that the estate was sold to the tenants around 1908. After the estate was divided, the house continued to be occupied well into the twentieth century but is now a ruin surrounded by farmland.
Limepark	In 1855 the house at Limepark north, parish of Kilthomas, barony of Dunkellin, was in the possession of George Persse. Earlier in the 19th century the house was occupied by Thomas Wilton. This property was recorded as the seat of the Wallace family by Lewis in 1837. During the 1916 Rising it afforded shelter to the rebels from Galway. It is now a ruin. The farm of which it is a part was offered for sale in 2024.
