Hillsbrook	The home of a branch of the Kirwans of Cregg in the first half of the 19th century. Occupied by Henry Campbell at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at over £20. It is no longer extant.
Prospect House	John Donnellan was leasing this property from the Kirwan estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £4. It is labelled Prospect House on the 25-inch Ordnance Map of the 1890s. Occupied until 1977, now used for storage.
Mountsilk	This property was held in fee by Michael O'Kelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6. A later house seems to have been constructed by the time the 25-inch Ordnance map was published in the 1890s. This house is no longer extant though a farm still exists at Mount Silk.
Elmhill	Occupied by Edward Rochfort in 1814. By the time of Griffith's Valuation there was no house with a valuation of more than £1.18 shillings in the townland. The 25-inch map of the 1890s shows a later building called Elmhill House slightly north of the original building. There is still an extant house at the site.

In the Blake of Ballyglunin Papers Thomas Murphy in a letter to Martin J. Blake dated 1837, refers to his involvement in the building of a house at Moate for Mr Digby, National Archives M6936/38/29.
Windfield	Originally a Blake house, Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Blake in 1786. It was sold to the Jameson family in the early 1820s and occupied by J. Lynch in the late 1830s. Catherine Lynch was leasing the property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £30. The house was burnt in 1921 and nothing remains now.

By the 1870s John Lyons of Summerville, Moylough, owned 218 acres in county Galway. In 1906 another source records Summerville, valued at £13.10 shillings, as occupied by John Lyons. Renovated in 2006 by its present owner Pat Lyons.
Lakeview	Built by the Carr family and occupied by Michael Carr at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £13. A house is shown though not labelled on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map. It is named as Lakeview House on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. Lakeview is still extant.
