Strandhill | At the time of Griffith's Valuation Patrick Buchan was leasing a property valued at £12 at Lecarrow or Strandhill, barony of Dromahaire, from James Fawcett. Lewis records Strand Hill as a seat of the Fawcett family in 1837. | |
Corry Lodge | At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house at Cavan, known as Corry Lodge, was owned by Francis N. Cullen and was valued at £12. In 1859 when the property was being sold it was claimed that the house had cost £1500 to build. It was the suject of a sale notice again in 1876 when the house was described as having 3 reception rooms and 5 good bedrooms. | |
Drumahaire Lodge | Dromahaire Lodge was part of the Lane-Fox estate and was usually the home of the agent. During the 19th century these included D. Stewart and Joshua Kell.

Larkfield | In 1786 Wilson refers to Larkfield as the seat of Mr. Donnell. Larkfield is described as a very plain house but nevertheless its construction is alleged to have caused financial embarrassment for the O'Donnell estate. It was valued at £15 at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was occupied by John O'Donnell. After the purchase of the estate by the Land Commission in the 1930s the house was demolished and another house has been constructed on the site. | |
Belhavel | Belhavel was the home of Hugh Lyons Montgomery, built during the Famine. The family took up residence there in 1850. Slater refres to it as the seat of Hugh Lyons Montgomery in 1894. The Irish Tourist Association survey in the 1940s records that "every stone was taken away to build houses throughout the district". An earlier castle also in Belhavel is reputed to have been built by the first Montgomery to settle in the area in the seventeenth century. | |
Drumlease Glebe | Rev. Wilby Wynne was occupying Drumlease Glebe, barony of Dromahaire, at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £20. McParlan includes John Carter and brothers of Drumlease on a list of "resident gentlemen of property" in 1802. |

Tawnahoney | At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick Buchan, agent to the Creevlea Iron Works, was leasing buildings valued at £17 at Tawnahoney, barony of Dromahaire, from John Johnston. This property does not appear to be extant at the time of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map in the 1890s. In 1786 Wilson had noted a property in the nearby townland of Gortermone as a seat of Mr. Johnston. It is not shown on the Ordnance Survey maps. | |
Grouse Lodge | In 1786 Wilson refers to Grouse Lodge as the seat of Mr. Seily. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was held by the Johnston estate but there is no property with a substantial valuation. The house is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but a larger house appears to have been constructed later on an adjacent site as shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. This property is still extant. | |
Dunmuckrum | At the time of Griffiths Valuation, David Stewart, senior, was leasing a property valued at £10 from the Conolly estate. |
