| Willsgrove | William W.R. Sandford's estate was the lessor of two properties at Willsgrove, barony of Castlereagh, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. One, valued at £10, was vacant while the second was leased to Anne Glancey together with 260 acres. In 1837 Lewis records Willsgrove as the seat of W.R. Wills. In 1786, Wilson refers to Willsgrove as the seat of Thomas Wills, "a large and fine house". The 1749 Census of Elphin records that Godfrey Wills was resident at Willsgrove. In 1783 Taylor and Skinner note Willsgrove as a seat of the Wills family. It is described as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. | |

| Ballaghawbeg | Richard Irwin's estate owned a herd's house valued at £2 together with over 400 acres at Ballaghawbeg, barony of Castlereagh, at the time of Griffith's Valuation.

| Emlagh | Robert Irwin was leasing a property valued at £5 + 230 acres at Emlagh, barony of Castlerea, to Patrick Flynn, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. 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. | |
| Rathmoyle | Richard Irwin was leasing a property valued at £35 at Rathmoyle, barony of Castlereagh, from George H. Kirkaldy, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. This property was also recorded as the residence of Richard Irwin in both 1814 and 1837. In 1749 the Census of Elphin recorded that Arthur Irwin, farmer, resided at Rathmoyle. Gormley states that the property continued in the possession of the Irwin family until 1921. The final distribution of land from this estate took place in 1969 and the house was 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.

| Fern Hall | At the time of the first Ordnance Survey the Trant family were recorded as the proprietors of the townland of Polranny, barony of Castlereagh, including Fern Hall House. Henry Dillon Trant was leasing it to John Irwin at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at almost £5. Gormley states that this branch of the Irwins was the oldest in the area, having been recorded there in the sixteenth century. The house was not in good repair by the end of the nineteenth century and no trace remains now. | |
