House name	Description
Clonbrock	Designed by William Leeson and built in the 1780s. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of Lord Clonbrock. In 1786 Wilson refers to Clonbrock as the seat of R. Dillon. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house at Clonbrock was valued at £100. In 1906 it was valued at £135. The house was badly damaged by fire in the 1980s and only one wing is now inhabited.
Ballybaun	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lord Clonbrock owned a mill, gate house and other buildings valued at £35 in the townland of Ballybaun, parish of Ahascragh. The gate house is still extant and occupied. Local sources suggest it was at one time used as a school for children in the area.
Ahascragh Glebe/Rectory	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Rev. Sir William Mahon was leasing a house valued at £20 in the townland of Ahascragh West, barony of Kilconnell, to Reverend Peter Browne. He was also leasing property in this townland to Thomas Hunt. Reverend Mahon was rector of Rawmarsh, Yorkshire. This property is still extant and occupied as a private house.
Pallas	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John J. Bodkin was leasing a property at Pallas, parish of Fohanagh, to Thomas O'Connor. The house was valued at £3 but was accompanied by over 600 acres. A new house appears to have been constructed after the publication of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. It is labelled Pallas on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. It is now derelict.
Doon House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Charles Filgate was leasing a house valued at £5 and 400 acres from the Clonbrock estate. In the 1830s, he is noted in the Ordnance Survey name books as the agent for several county Galway estates, including the Mahons of Castlegar and the Blakeneys of Abbert. Doon House wsa constructed within a ring fort and the remains of the building still exist.
Barnavihall House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Connolly was leasing this property, valued at £8, together with over 250 acres, from R.W. Greene. There is still an extant house at the site.
South Park	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lawrence Kerrans was leasing a property valued at £11 from the Clonbrock estate at Kilglass, parish of Ahascragh. It is not named on the first edition Ordnance Survey Map but is labelled South Park on the 25-inch edition produced in the 1890s. The house is still extant and occupied.
Weston	John D. Mahon was leasing this property, valued at £35, from Sir William Mahon, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is described as unoccupied at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates that the original Weston house is now demolished. A smaller house, known as Weston Lodge, was also located in the demesne (M779403). It is no longer extant.
Ballyglass House	James Mahon, a brother of Ross Mahon of Castlegar, was residing at Balliglass in 1749. The Ordnance Survey Name Books record it as the residence of George Clarke in the 1830s. A herd's house valued at £5 and over 250 acres of the Mahon estate were located at Ballyglass in the parish of Ahascragh at the time of Griffith's Valuation. A house still exists at the site.
Sonnagh	Walter McDonagh was leasing a property at Sonnagh, parish of Fohanagh, barony of Clonmacnowen, from the Clancarty estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He was also the occupier of a mill at Pollboy, valued at £95, in this parish. His estate was centred on Lowville in the barony of Kilconnell. A house still exists at the Sonnagh site.
Fairfield (Kilgerrill)	Wilson, writing in 1786, notes Fairfield as the seat of Mr. O'Brien. In 1837, Lewis records Fairfield as the seat of John O'Brien. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Fairfield was leased by James Thorngate to Daniel Cruise. Taylor and Skinner record Fairfield as a seat of the O'Brien family in 1783. The original house is not extant.
Heathview House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Christopher Usher was leasing buildings including a mill, valued at £25, to William Usher, in the townland of Kilgerrill, barony of Clonmacnowen. Earlier, in 1837, "The Lodge" in the parish of Kilgerrill was recorded by Lewis as the seat of William Usher. Described by the Ordnance Survey Name Books as "in good repair", it was then the residence of J. Usher. A house still exists at the site.
Castlegar	The principal residence of the Mahon family, designed by Sir Richard Morrison circa 1801, replacing an earlier house. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to this earlier house as the seat of Mr. Mahon. In the 1830s the Ordnance Survey Name Books describe it as in good repair but Sir Ross Mahon was not resident there at the time. Sir William Mahon was still in possession of the property in 1906 when it was valued at £67. In 1979 the house was sold by the Mahons to John Horan, who advertised the house for sale again in 1988. The house is still extant.
Milverton	Thomas Hunt was leasing a property valued at £20 from the Mahon estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Extensive corn mills are shown at this site at the time of the First Ordnance Survey but by the 1890s it is occupied by a house labelled Milverton which is still extant.
Killure	Writing in 1786, Wilson refers to Killure as the seat of Mr. Dillon. He appears to be referring to either Killure Castle or a property associated with it. The castle is described as "in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1842 and the ruin of the tower house is still visible.
