House name	Description
Charlesfort House	Charlesfort House was the home of Rev. William Grove in 1836. It was also occupied by him at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £13.
Carrowculleen House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lecarrow was the property of Thomas Guilfoyle and was valued at £14. In 1906 Anthony Guilfoyle was the owner of the house at Lecarrow, valued at £31. McTernan notes that the property was purchased by Anthony Gilfoyle, a leading Sligo merchant, c.1806. It was extended in the 1840s. From the 1920s until the 1990s it was owned by the Mercy Order. The house is now part of the Holy Hill Hermitage complex.
Leekfield	Leekfield was originally a Wood property which came into the Webb family through the marriage of Sarah Wood to Daniel Webb Webber. It is recorded as his residence in 1814. McTernan notes that the Webber estate, including Leekfield House and demesne lands, was offered for sale by Charles Tankerville Webber in the 1890s. Leekfield was acquired by Michael Higgins, who had been the agent for the Webber estate. It was demolished in the 1960s.
Seaview or Doonecoy	The Hillas family seem to have occupied the house at Carrowmacrory since the eighteenth century as McTernan notes that it was built by Robert Hillas who was High Sheriff of Sligo in 1772. Mrs. Esther Hillas was occupying the house, valued at £25, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1906 it was the property of Robert G. Hillas and was valued at £23. The house was eventually sold in 1955 to the O'Beirne family by whom it is still owned.
Corkhill House	Sir Malby Crofton is recorded as the lessor of two properties in the parish of Templeboy at the time of Griffith's Valuation. One property is noted as a herd's house, valued at £1 while the second, valued at £1 5s, was leased to Thomas Fury. McTernan notes that in the eighteenth century this house had been leased from the Crofton estate by the Wood family. It eventually fell into disrepair and was demolished.
Belville (Kilmacshalgan)	According to McTernan, Belville was built by Peter Rutledge on the occasion of his marriage to Catherine Ormsby in 1808. The house was occupied in the 1830s by James Rutledge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Margaret Ormsby Ruttledge, leasing from the Cooper estate and was valued at almost £4. By 1876 it was the seat of Robert McMunn who owned 582 acres in county Sligo. It was partly demolished in the twentieth century.
Fort Laurel	Patrick and Hugh Maguire were leasing over 60 acres from the Palmer estate at Ardogelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Fort Laurel House was later built at this property. It was renovated in the late twentieth century and is now a family home.
Grangemore (Tireragh)	In 1786 Wilson refers to Grange as the seat of Mr. Jones. It is possible that he is referring to the house then at Grangemore, in the parish of Templeboy. By the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was part of the estate of William Phibbs and the house, occupied by Thomas McKinn, was valued at £3. McTernan writes that in the mid-17th century, this property was known as Curhow and was owned by Theophilus Jones. It was subsequently sublet to the Wood family and purchased by Phibbs from the Cooper of Coopershill estate in the 1790s.
