House name	Description
Streamstown	Streamstown House was an important seat of the Irwin family in the eighteenth century. McTernan writes that it was a centre of gaiety and music and enjoyed visits from the well known harper, Arthur O'Neill. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of "Mr. Irvine". From the early nineteenth century, however, the family tended to reside elsewhere and Streamstown was usually occupied by a steward or herdsman, At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Henry Irwin was in possession of the property at Streamstown, which consisted of a herd's house and a gatehouse. It was valued at almost £2. In 1894 Slater still refers to it as a residence of Burton Irwin. Only one gable and a chimney of the house remain.
Flower Hill	Flower Hill was being leased by Magdalene Irwin from the Perceval estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. The Irwins had a modest house at this location and in the 1820s set about building a larger property. Due to debt and court proceedings it was never finished and remains a roofless ruin.
Temple House	The Temple House estate extended into the Civil parishes of Cloonoghill and Emlaghfad as well as in the parish of Kilvarnet where the house is located. In 1786 Wilson refer to Temple-house as the seat of Mr. Perceval. The present house was built c.1820 but was subsequently modified. In 1894 the house was noted by Slater as the seat of Mrs. Perceval. Remains of earlier Perceval houses are to be seen in the demesne.
Greyfort	Alexander Perceval was the lessor of a property valued at almost £6 at Lislea, barony of Corran, which he was leasing to James Dale at the time of Griffith's Valuation. McTernan notes the house as the seat of the Rea family from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. A number of other families occupied the house up until the 1980s when it was demolished.
Drimrane	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Taaffe was leasing a property at Drimraine, barony of Corran, valued at £6 to John Davis. It was in use as a herd's house accompanying a holding of over 100 acres. McTernan states that Davies subsequently sold the property to the Reynolds family in whose possession it still remains.
Carrowkeel	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John F. MacDonagh held property valued at £12 at Carrowkeel, barony of Corran, from the Gore Booth estate. Lewis also records this as a MacDonagh property, describing it as a "fine modern residence". McTernan notes that Carrowkeel was probably built by Francis MacDonagh at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It remained in the family until its sale in the Landed Estates Court. It is still extant and occupied.
Muckelty	Lewis records Muckelty as the seat of Jones Irwin in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Napper Irwin was leasing a property at Muckelty, barony of Leyny, from Henry Irwin. It was valued at almost £3. Farm buildings exist at the site now.
Somerton	Somerton House appears to have been the residence of the agent to the Perceval estate. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the latter estate was owned by R.W. Hall-Dare. Somerton was then occupied by Christopher L'Estrange and was valued at £14. It is still extant.
Achonry House	John Docker was leasing Achonry House from the Armstrong estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8. McTernan states that local tradition suggests the house was built by Docker when he leased the property from the Armstrongs. It was subsequently occupied, until the 1930s, by the Gorman family. It is still extant and has recently been renovated.
