House name Description
Winterfield House Described in the 1830s as a neat 2 storied house, the home of Captain Butler. It was held in fee by John Butler at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £15. It is no longer extant.
Cregg Castle Built in the mid 17th century, the home of the Kirwans until the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson mentions that it was the last castle to be built in county Galway and that it had lately been remodelled by Mr. Kirwan. Later occupied by a branch of the Blake family. It was held in fee by Francis Blake at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £40. Slater notes it as the residence of Mrs. Blake in 1894. Sold by the Blakes in 1947 to the Johnstons, who made alterations and restored it. Bought by the Murrays in the early 1970s, who ran it as a guest house. Sold again in 2006. Photo of Cregg Castle
Waterdale This was originally a Staunton property which passed by marriage to the Lamberts. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Staunton. The OS Name Books record it as the property of James Blake in the 1830s. Sold to Lord Clanmorris briefly in the 1850s and repurchased by James Staunton Lambert, Waterdale was leased to John Wilson Lynch 1857-1870 and to James Delahunt 1870-1883. It was taken over by the Land Commission in 1903 and demolished. Photo of Waterdale
Claregalway Castle In 1786 Wilson refers to "the ancient castle of Clare-Galway, the seat of Michael French". Both the 1st edition and 25-inch edition indicate that the original tower house was in ruins but extensive adjacent buildings are shown on the 25-inch map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was part of Lord Clanmorris's estate and was leased to Patrick Reilly when the buildings were valued at over £5. The castle is still extant and undergoing a programme of renovation.
Corbally House (Kilmoylan) In 1786 Wilson refers to Corbally, the seat of Mr. D'Arcy, situated beside a lough. This would appear to be Corbally House, in the parish of Kilmoylan. By the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland was in the possession of James O'Hara and Walter Blake was occupying this property which was valued at £2. It is no longer extant.
