House name	Description
Newpark	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Newpark was being leased by Jemmet Duke from Robert Duke and was valued at £25. Lewis recorded it as the seat of Robert Duke in 1837. McTernan notes that it passed by sale to Richard Edward O'Hara of the Annaghmore family in 1913. The house is still extant and occupied by his descendents.
Coopershill	Coopershill House was completed in 1774. McParlan described its situation as delightful in 1802. Lewis records it as the seat of Arthur Cooper in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Charles William Cooper and valued at £52. Charles William Cooper later succeeded his uncle as owner of the O'Hara of Annaghmore estate and henceforth Coopershill bacame an O'Hara property. He is recorded as the owner in 1894. The house is still extant and run as a guesthouse by the O'Hara family.
Tanzyfort	Tanzyfort House was built by the Cooper family in the mid-17th century and occupied by them until the completion of Coopershill House in 1774. Wilson, however, still refers to it as the seat of Arthur Cooper in 1786. Orser provides a detailed description of the layout of Tanzyfort House.
Mount Dodwell	Henry Crichton was the owner of a property valued at almost £7 at Ballinvoher, barony of Corran, in 1906. This may be the cottage which is still extant and was possibly a steward's house. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Samuel Gilmore from the Creighton estate and was valued at £5. Lewis records Mount Dodwell as the residence of Charles Thompson, who was related to the Dodwell family. This was the original house, which had stood here since the eighteenth century. It ceased to be a residence in the mid-nineteenth century and was subsequently demolished.
Ardagh	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Richard Graves Brinkley held extensive property at Ardagh and Bellanascarva, barony of Tirerrill. This had formerly been part of his wife, Hester Lloyd's estate. Ardagh House was then valued at £14. Johnston states that the property at Ardagh was later lived in by Hunter family who acted as agents for the Brinkley estate. Part of the extensive farmyard of Ardagh House has been converted into residential accommodation. An extensive mill complex in the nearby townland of Bellanascarva was leased to Munds Harper at the same time where Brinkley also held a house valued at £30.
Lissycoyne	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick McDermott was leasing a property valued at £7 at Lissycoyne, barony of Tirerrill, from the Brinkley estate. It is shown as diminished in size on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. Some farm buildings are located at the site now.
Branchfield (Duke)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Alexander Duke was leasing property valued at £8 with almost 300 acres, at Branchfield, barony of Corran, from Jemmet Duke. Lewis records Branchfield as the seat of Rev. William Duke in 1837. Wilson notes Branchfield as the seat of Mr. Duke in 1786, remarking that the ruins of Coolteem Castle are nearby. Branchfield House has been offered for sale in recent times.
Kilcreevin	Lewis records Kilcreevin as a seat of Jemmett Duke in 1837. Griffith's Valuation shows that Jemmett Duke was leasing over 250 acres from the Coopers of Markree in this townland including a property valued at £2.
Greyfort Cottage	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Nicholas Gardiner was leasing a herd's house valued at £4 and lands from the Nicholson estate. This property is labelled Greyfort Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but it is not shown on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s.
Roshin Lodge	Francis Foster was occupying Roshin Lodge at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. It was leased from the Conyngham estate and valued at £18. Foster's daughter, Mary Stewart Foster, married John Stouppe Charley of Belfast. She sold the property after his death. In 1876 it was offered for sale by Arthur Sandys Forster. Roshin Lodge was described as 'a spacious dwelling house, comprising 29 apartments' at that time. By 1901 it was the residence of William Smyth and his family. He had died by 1911 but his widow and children still occupied the property.
