House name Description
Castletown At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Fenton was leasing the house at Castletown to George Fenton when it was valued at £10. In 1906 the property at Castletown was owned by Thomas G. Fenton and was valued at £11. It is no longer extant though traces of walls, stable yard and gate lodges are all still visible.
Gleneask Lodge & Cottage At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Brett was leasing over 500 acres and a herd's house valued at £4, from John Taaffe, at Tullaghaglas, barony of Leyny. Lewis records Glenesk, in Kilmacteige parish, as a seat of the Taaffe family, in 1837. This is Gleneask Cottage, still extant and occupied. McTernan indicates that this property was built by the Irish Waste Lands Improvement Society, when they leased the Taaffe estate in the 1830s. In 1866, when the property was offered for sale, "Gleneask House" was described as being situated in "most romantic scenery". McTernan writes that this latter property was a hunting lodge built by the Taaffes in the 1850s and demolished in the 1930s
Oatlands House The residence of the O'Dowds of Bunnyconnellan until the sale of their estate in 1854 when it was bought by Charles Downing and leased to Henry McLoghry. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Downing held it in fee when it was valued at £10. It is labelled Bunnyconnellan Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but as Oatlands House on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. This is the name by which it is still known. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to Oaklands House owned by Mr McAndrew in which some of the old O'Dowd house was probably incorporated. The house has been restored and in 2015 was offered for sale.
Glencarha The Ordnance Survey Names Books record that the house was 'a new edifice not yet finished', the intended residence of George Fenton, an attorney of Kilglass, near Ballina, who was leasing the townland. The house was occupied by Isaac McLoghry at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Cottlestown The Kirkwood estate was centred on Cottlestown House. The name seems to have sometimes been known as Castletown and this is how it appears on the First ed. OS sheet but documentary evidence would seem to suggest the estate was also known as Cottlestown. The Buildings of Ireland survey states that it is likely that the present house was added to an earlier, probably eighteenth century structure, which in turn replaced the fortified house on the site. On modern OS sheets the townland is known as Cottlestown. This property later became part of the Boyd estate. Photo of Cottlestown
Moyview Moyview was part of the Wingfield estate but was let to other families at different times. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Robert Warren and was valued at £12. There is still an occupied house at this site though McTernan notes that the original house was an eighteent-century single story thatched residence.
Knockroe Knockroe house was part of the Wingfield estate and at the time of Griffith's Valuation was valued at £12. The property is now part of a farm. The remains of the entrance gates are supported by an iron bedpost!
Scurmore In 1786 Wilson writes that Scurmore House was the seat of Mr. Nisbett. Later, in the nineteenth century it became a seat of the Wingfields. In the 1830s it is described as undergoing repairs but the family were again occupying it by 1857. The house is recorded as the property of S.L. Lewis in 1906 when it was valued at £37. McTernan states that the house was demolished in the mid twentieth century. A later house now exists at the site but the original outbuildings are still intact.
Fortland Wilson, writing in 1786 refers to "Fortland, pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Easky" as the seat of Mr. Browne. It later passed to the Jones estate. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis in 1837 record it as a Jones property. In the mid nineteenth century it was bought by Richard Graves Brinkley who was leasing it to John Wingfield King at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £14. It was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in 1874 when it was occupied by Mrs. Charlotte Lloyd, presumably a relative of Richard Brinkley's wife, Hester Lloyd. In 1906 it was the property of John L. Brinkley and was valued at £39. McTernan notes that the house was afterwards damaged by fire and partially demolished. Various buildings, including substantial remains of an estate farmyard, survive at this site. Photo of Fortland
Temple View The house now known as Temple View was built in the later 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation there was a building at this location owned by Peter Hale and leased to George Fenton. In 1906 Temple View was the property of James Hale and was valued at £32 as well as other buildings in the townland. McTernan states that it had a succession of owners through the twentieth century but has been vacant for long periods. In 2005 it was derelict and for sale. Photo of Temple View

Rathlee At the time of Griffith's Valuation Thomas Jones was leasing a property valued at £18 at Rathlee, barony of Tireragh, to John Christie. The ''Sligo Directory'' of 1862 indicates that John Christie was a magistrate for the county. McTernan states that this property was associated with the Hewitt family who were connected with the Fitzgerald family through marriage. The Fitzgeralds had acquired an interest in the property at the beginning of the nineteenth century. In 1814 Leet recorded the house at Rathlee as the residence of Michael Fitzgerald. Rathlee is no longer extant but the remains of the walled garden are still visible.
Oghil Oghil house is recorded in the OS Name Books as being built in the 1740s, though McTernan states that the existing house dates from the late 1830s. At both the time of Griffith's Valuation and in 1906 it was the property of Robert W. Armstrong and was valued at £17. It later served as the parochial house but is now a family home again. See http://www.westsligo.com/culleens/historyoghillhse.htm for more details. Photo of Oghil
Kinard Lodge The Ordnance Survey Name Books record Kinnard Lodge as the property of the Paget family in 1837. It appears that it, like other houses in the area, was used as a summer bathing lodge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by James Paget and was valued at £9. A second house in the townland was occupied by Henry Simpson, leasing from James Paget, and was valued at £6. Kinard Lodge is still extant and occupied.
Dromore At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house at Dromore was the property of John Fenton and was valued at £15.

The house was occupied at the time by Jas. McMunn, MD. In 1906 the house at Dromore was valued at £16 and was the property of William Browne Loughead. Photo of Dromore

When the property was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in May 1875 the house is described as " a handsome modern residence valued at £30". The Wingfield King estate sold their interest in the property in 1879 and the sale notice mentions Thaddeus Tiernan as occupying the house at that time. In 1906 a house here valued at £20 was the property of Thaddeus Tiernan. McTernan states that this gentleman had amassed a fortune in Australia and South America. He became involved in public life, including Board of Guardians and County Council, on taking up residence at Woodhill. The house is still owned by his descendents. Photo of Woodhill House

It was occupied by the rector of Crossmolina, the Reverend Edwin Stock, for a few years prior to 1815. Rahans was described in 1855 as "a comfortable dwelling house, in a fair state of repair" and occupied by Mrs Frances Atkinson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the home of George Orme.

Dr. McHugh of Ballina also had an interest in the property which he was renting to Rev. Thomas Feeney in 1857. Colonel Knox Gore also had a mill complex in this townland which, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, he was leasing to William Symes.
