House name Description
Castleffrench Castle ffrench is said to have been built c.1779 by Charles Ffrench, then Mayor of Galway. Wilson, in 1786, in one instance refers to "Clougher" as the seat of Mr. French but in a later reference notes Castle-French as "the fine seat of Sir Thomas French". In 1814 and again in 1837 it is recorded as the residence of Lord French. In 1856 it was occupied by James Thorngate when it was valued at £40. It is still extant and occupied and in 2006 was offered for sale. Photo of Castleffrench

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.

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. Photo of Castlegar
