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.
Lowville	Lowville was originally the seat of Nathanial Lowe who held this estate in the mid-18th century and Wilson refers to it as his seat in 1786. In 1814 it was the residence of the Hon. Mrs. Low. In 1837 Lewis recorded Lowville as the seat of W. McDonagh. It was still occupied by Walter McDonagh in the 1850s and was valued at £45. By 1906 it was in the possession of Bernard Connaughton and was valued at £33. It was later the home of the Byrne family but was sold in the early 1970s and ceased to be residential. It is now a ruin.
Clooncannon/Cloncannon/Runnamead	Far Kelly was resident at Cloncannon in 1749. It is described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books as the residence of William Kelly. This property was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates in July 1850. At that time it was occupied by Mathew C. Browne. John and Edward Lennon were occupying this property, valued at £9, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was part of a holding of almost 400 acres. Joseph Trumperant Potts laid the foundation stone for his house known as Runnymeade in 1866 (''Saunders Newsletter'', 23 June 1866). It is labelled as Runnamead House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. In 1906 a house valued at £10 at Clooncannon Kelly was part of the Clonbrock estate together with almost 400 acres of untenanted land.. It is no longer extant.
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.
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.
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.
