House name	Description
Ashbrook	An early 18th century house, it was noted by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Moore in 1786. It was occupied by Michael Costello in 1814 and described as in a dilapidated state at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to a two-storey plain featured house with the ruins of a small private chapel closeby, which apparently fell into decay in the early 19th century. Some ruins remain at the site.
Athavallie	The house at Moat was the main residence of the Lynch Blosses in the 18th and the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to Moat, the seat of Sir Henry L. Blosse. A fire destroyed the original house in 1808. It was rebuilt and is marked on the first Ordnance Survey map as Attavally. The Lynch Blosse family were absentee landlords for most of the 19th century. In 1894 the house was recorded as the seat of Sir Henry Lynch-Blosse. Later the house became a community school run by the St Louis nuns. It is now known as Balla Secondary Schoool.

Midfield House	Occupied by Anthony Kelly in 1814 and by P. Kelly in 1837. There is no house with a significant valuation in this townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Farm buildings appear to occupy the site now.

He states that the house and 170 acres were occupied by George Harkin at the time of Griffith's Valuation, however the Valuation records Bernard McManus as the occupier of the house valued at £15. Quinn records that Bernard McManus had gone to live at Brownstown in 1856. The Aitken family have lived at Barleyhill for over a hundred years.
Bellavary	Charles Goodwin lived in the house in the late 1830s. The Landed Estates' Court rental records that Bellavary House was leased to Standish O'Grady McDermott by William Malley on 10 Feb 1859 for 21 years. It later became a Royal Irish Constabulary barracks and burned down in 1920.

Following the death of Andrew's son, Owen Bingham Manners O'Malley, in 1886, Newcastle became the property of his sister, Elizabeth Brewster. Count Manus O'Donel, a Major General in the Austrian Service, lived at Newcastle in the late 18th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of General O'Donnell.

In 1786 Wilson refers to it as " the beautiful seat of Thomas Ormsby". In 1938 the Ormsbys sold Ballinamore to a Scottish order of nuns, the Order of St John, who used the house as a school. The building was donated to Western Care in the 1970s. It now functions as a nursing home.
