Elmhall	Built by Gerald Cuff early in the 18th century, it was let to the Jordans of Murrisk in the 1770s and to a branch of the Browne family of Westport from the 1780s until the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as a seat of the Rt.Hon. James Cuffe. In 1837 the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map notes that it was 'in ruins'. The Irish Tourist Association File states that Elmhall is said to have been burnt in 1798. Only some fragments of walls remain at the site.

A fire destroyed the original house in 1808. It was rebuilt and is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as Attavally. The Lynch Blosse family were absentee landlords for most of the 19th century. In 1894 the house was recorded as the seat of Sir Henry Lynch-Blosse. Later the house became a community school run by the St Louis nuns. It is now known as Balla Secondary Schoool.

Carnacon House	Home of the McDonnell family in the early 19th century and probably earlier as local sources suggest General James McDonnell, who fought in the 1798 Rebellion, was born there. In 1844 described by Samuel Nicholson as "neat and comfortable, prettily situated upon the lake and ornamented by thriving plantations". It was purchased by the Hughes family in the 1940s and is still in their possession.

It was generally known as 'Lodge'. The house was sold to the Carson family in 1905. Charles O'Malley and his son, St Clair O'Malley, were agents to the Earls of Lucan. This house appears to be named Tallyhoe, the residence of Cuffe esquire, on the Taylor and Skinner map. Hawthorn Lodge is still extant and has been occupied by descendants of George O'Malley since the 1990s.

The unoccupied house was held by Charles G. Mahon at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £30. Some buildings survive at the site.

Claremount	Built in the 18th century, this house was the home of George Browne, third son of the 1st Earl of Altamont, in the 1760s. His daughter and heiress married Dominick Browne of Castlemagarret and ownership of Claremount appears to have passed to the Castlemagarret Brownes. The Kirwans and Denis Browne of Westport lived in the house in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was bought by Murray McGregor Blacker from Lord Oranmore and Browne in 1858 for £4,250. Blacker owned the house until 1874. In 1877 the house and about 313 acres were sold to the local parish priest by Thomas D. Maguire for the purpose of establishing a Convent of Mercy. The nuns ran a girls' secondary school in the house. In October 1906 just over 300 acres of Claremount was vested in the Congested Districts' Board.
Curraghleagh Lodge	The O'Moore sales rental of 1852 states that Isidore Bourke held Murneen North by a lease dated 1844, for 500 years. At the time of Griffith's Valuation he was leasing this property from Garret O'Moore when the house was valued at £30. This building is labelled Curraghleagh Lodge on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. A building much reduced in size is visible at the site.
Brees/Brize	The original castle was the home of the Moore family in the 17th century. A house was later built which was the home of the Coghlan family in the early 19th century and was occupied by John and Mathew Anderson at the time of Griffith's Valuation, see http://familyhistory.oram.ca/burrishoole/?page_id=1345 . A house is still extant at this site.
Cloonboy House	The home of John Coghlan at the time of Griffith's Valuation, held from the Lynch Blosse estate when the house was valued at £10. It is still extant.
Cappagh	Cappagh was occupied by James Tighe at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house, valued at £4, is described as a herd's house. It was built some time before the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 and is still extant and well-maintained.
Coarsefield	The Grays were in possession of Coarsefield by the late 1830s. The present house was probably built by the Tighe family who bought Coarsefield from the Grays and sold it to the Stephens family in the early 20th century.
Oory/Coarsefield	It is probable that the townland of Coarsefield was part of Oory in the 18th century and that Oory was divided into two townlands at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The remains of an old house are still visible at Coarsefield, close to the present house, and it is believed that this was Oory House, home of the Bourkes and later owned by the Nettervilles. In 1814 "Course-field" belonged to James Netterville. The sales rental of the Gray estate of Coarsefield in 1861 refers to one wall remaining of the old Netterville house.
Rockstown	Marked on the first edition Ordnance Survey map this house was occupied by William Nally at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held from the Lynch Blosses. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes its connections with P.W. Nally, a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood and a well-known late nineteenth century athlete influential in the founding of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The house is now a ruin.
