House name	Description
Ryefield	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Andrew Cummins was leasing a house at Ryefield valued at £17 to John Dowd. It was occupied by John Cummins, agent to Nicholas Cummins at the time of the first Ordnance Survey.
Smith Hill	Smithhill was in the demesne of The Palace at Elphin. It was the residence of the Reverend Oliver Jones, grandfather of Oliver Goldsmith, in the early 18th century. It was the home of Robert Jones Lloyd in the late 18th and early 19th century and of the Reverend John Lloyd in 1837. The house was unoccupied at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £8 and held by Robert Lynch. The Ordnance Survey Field Name Books record that Goldsmith's father was born at Ardnagowna [or possibly Oliver himself, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_Hill_(house)].
Lissadorn	Lissadorn was a Crofton home from the mid 17th century. It became a Lloyd home in the 18th century following the marriage of Catherine Crofton and John Yeadon Lloyd in 1786. By 1814 Joseph Healy was living at Lisadurn. Burke's ''Landed Gentry of Ireland'' (1904) records the second son of Walter Balfe of Heathfield as John Balfe of Lissadorn. J. Balfe was residing at Lissadorn in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Bernard Balfe held Lissadorn, valued at £20, from Viscount Lorton. It is no longer extant. On the first Ordnance Survey map (1838) the demesne included a smaller house named Ryefield.
Cloonahee	Residence of Gilbert Conry in 1814 and of John Conroy esq in 1822. According to a note with the sale rental of 1853 the house was accidently burnt and a good farm house built as a replacement. The home of John Heague in the mid 19th century. Occupied by Richard Hague and valued at £40 in 1906.
Bettyfield	Recorded as the seat of Sir John Conroy or O'Mulconry in the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books. Arthur O'Connor was the main tenant in the townland of Shankill at the time of Griffith's Valuation.
Cherryfield	Home of the Mills family in 1778. Noted by Wilson as "the fine seat of Oliver Mills" in 1786. Lewis refers to it as a seat of the same family in 1837. It was occupied by Michael Butler in the 1850s and held from John Carroll, valued at £10. It came into the ownership of the McGreavy family in the latter part of the nineteenth century and remained in their possession until the 1960s. It is now derelict.
The Palace	Built as the residence of the Protestant Bishop of Elphin in 1685 from money bequeathed by Bishop Hudson. Altered in the mid 18th century and remained as the Bishop's residence until 1845. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the home of Arthur O'Conor, younger brother of Denis O'Conor of Mount Druid. Valued then at £55 and held from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Accidentally burnt in 1911, the main block is now demolished.
Rossmore	Rossmore East was part of the estate of James Murphy at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house was built circa 1860s (Buildings of Ireland). However the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books record a house and large gardens in the 1830s.
Ballyoughter	Occupied by John Goldsmith at the time of Griffith's Valuation. He held the house valued at £8 and 60 acres from Marcus McCausland. Another John Goldsmith was residing in Ballyoughter a hundred years earlier at the time of the Elphin Census. Wilson also refers to the house as the seat of Mr. Goldsmith in 1786. A later house, also named Ballyoughter House, is shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s and there is still a house at this site,
