Sandford was leasing the house at Ballyfinegan, barony of Castlereagh, to Patrick Tighe at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £11. Lewis records a house called Fortwilliam in the parish of Ballintober as the seat of P. Teighe in 1837. The Census of Elphin recorded William Compton as resident at Ballyfinegan in 1749. There is still an extant house at the site.

The Census of Elphin indicates that John Irwin resided there in 1749. Gormley states that the house was probably built around 1740 and extended in the early 1800s. By the 1880s the Irwins had sold Emlagh to Walter McDermott. The house was later demolished.
Milltown	Roderick O'Conor/O'Connor occupied the property at Milltown, barony of Castlerea, valued at £36, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was also recorded as his seat in both 1814 and 1837. Gormley states that nothing of the house now remains save for traces of the mile long avenue.
Heathfield	Patrick Balfe was leasing the property at Heathfield, valued at £36, to John Butler at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Lewis records Heathfield as the seat of Nicholas Balfe. It was also his seat in 1814. Gormley states that this house was originally known as Belgard Lodge and was part of the estate of Thomas Dillon of Belgard Castle, county Dublin. Richard Irwin of Fernhall acted as his agent in Roscommon. By 1830 the Heathfield estate was owned by Patrick Balfe and by the 1850s it was occupied by the Butler family, originally of Cherryfield, Elphin. They continued to occupy the house until the 1940s. The house is still extant.
South Park	Patrick Balfe was occupying the residence valued at £45, at Southpark, barony of Castlereagh, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1814 it was the seat of Michael Balfe who was also resident there in 1837. Gomley states that Daniel O'Connell was a frequent visitor to the house as his sister was married to one of the Balfe family. Slater refers to it as the seat of Major Michael Balfe in 1894. In 1783 Taylor and Skinner noted the property as the seat of Gen. Gisborne. In 1786 Wilson mentions South Park as "the fine seat of the late General Gisborne, now of Mr. Corr". Sadleir notes that Colonel Gisborne was MP for Lismore, in county Waterford in the 1770s and died in 1778. Skeffington Gibbon writes that South Park was built by General Gisburn on the Malone estate and was, in the late 1820s, in the possession of a grazier named Balfe. South Park House is no longer extant having been burned in 1921 but there are extensive remains of the walled garden and stable yard.

By the time of Griffith's Valuation this townland was in the possession of Christopher Hamilton and the most substantial house, valued at £4, was leased from his estate by Patrick Finner. Very little of the buildings are visible on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s though farm buildings still exist at the site.
