House name Description
Lisserlough Lisserlough was part of the King (Viscount Lorton) estate but was let on long leases to a number of different families, notably Powell, Baker and Laurence. McTernan notes that the present house was built by Viscount Lorton in the 1850s. It is still extant and has been restored while the adjacent out-offices have been converted into apartments.
Rathtermon Taylor and Skinner indicate Rathtermon as a seat of the Fleming family in 1783. In 1837 Lewis records Rathtermon as the seat of J. Flanagan. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Rev. John Flanagan was leasing a property valued at £10 together with over 200 acres at Rathtermon, barony of Coolavin, to Phillip McDermott. Rathtermon is still the focus of a large farming enterprise.

French Park At the time of Griffith's Valuation Frenchpark was owned by Rev. John Ffrench, Lord de Freyne and was valued at £60. In the 1749 Census of Elphin it was the residence of Arthur and Lady French. In 1786 Wilson described it as "a most beautiful seat with extensive and noble demesnes". It was demolished in the twentieth century. Members of the French family were buried in the graveyard surrounding the ruins of Frenchpark Priory. Photo of French Park
Bella At the time of Griffith's Valuation Arthur O'Connor was the lessor of a caretaker's house, valued at £2 10s, as well as 136 acres. Lewis recorded Bella as the residence of E. French in 1837. A ruin is still extant at the site. An entrance gateway named Flynn's Cottage is visible here now!
Barnaboy Francis O'Grady was leasing a property at Barnaboy, barony of Frenchpark, valued at £4 15s together with 179 acres of land from William Longfield's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Farm buildings exist at the site now.
Sheepwalk James McGann was leasing a property at Sheepwalk, barony of Frenchpark, valued at £10, from Lord de Freyne's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The townland of Sheepwalk contains a fine collection of early to mid-twentieth century houses and associated farm buildings. One house, now derelict, appears to be earlier and has large associated outbuildings. Photo of Sheepwalk
Ardgallin At the time of Griffith's Valuation Harloe Baker was leasing a house valued at £7, together with over 80 acres, at Ardgallin, barony of Coolavin, from Viscount Lorton's estate. Lewis also records Ardgallin as the seat of Harloe Baker in 1837. McTernan notes that the Baker family sold their interest to Thomas Bell, of Larkhill House, Quarryfield, in 1887. It came into the ownership of the Cornwall family in the 1920s who are still in possession.
