At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was owned by Catherine Armstrong and was valued at £35. In 1906 it was occupied by the representatives of Edward Armstrong and was valued at £49. It was also recorded as a seat of the Armstrong family by Lewis in 1837. Extensive remains of walled garden, stable and a later (c.1890s) house remain.
Doobeg	At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property at Doobeg consisted of a herd's house, valued at over £1, together with over 300 acres, and was in the ownership of Robert McAlpine. In the later nineteenth century it was lived in by the Phibbs family. Doobeg house is still extant and occupied as a family home.
Mount Irvine or Mount Irwin	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Edward B. Thornhill held over 300 acres including the townland of Mount Irvine and a property described as offices, valued at £3. Lewis had recorded Mount Irvine as the seat of William T. Sherlock in 1837. This house is more usually known as Mount Irwin and was a seat of the Irwin family in the eighteenth century. It passed by marriage to the Thompsons and then to William Theophilus Sherlock. It was later sold in the Encumbered Estates Court and the Thornhills continued to own it until 1907 when it was sold to the Land Commission. Nothing remains of the original house.
Cuilmore	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Powell was leasing a property valued at £7 with over 150 acres, from Lord de Freyne's estate, at Cuilmore, barony of Coolavin. The original house is not extant now.
Flower Hill	Flower Hill was being leased by Magdalene Irwin from the Perceval estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. The Irwins had a modest house at this location and in the 1820s set about building a larger property. Due to debt and court proceedings it was never finished and remains a roofless ruin.
Roadstown	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Charles O'Connor was leasing the property at Roadstown, barony of Corran from Rev. William Hearne and Capt. Starke, when it was valued at £6.Lewis also records it as the seat of the O'Connor family. In the eighteenth century Roadstown was associated with the Fleming family some of whom are buried in the churchyard of Emlaghfad, near Ballymote. Roadstown House is still standing but derelict. The house and farm were sold in 2005.
Old Rock	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Trumble was leasing a property valued at £4 at Old Rock, barony of Corran, from Johnston Parke. McTernan states that John Trumble eventually disposed of his interest in this property and settled in Manchester. The original house is no longer extant.
Doocastle Cottage	In Griffith's Valuation Joseph M. McDonnell held Doocastle Cottage from John B. Lindsey [of Turin Castle, barony of Kilmaine] when it was valued at £10. It is now a ruin.
Kilturra	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Joseph Verscoyle was leasing a property valued at £6 together with over 300 acres to Bartholomew McGettrick, at Kilturra, barony of Corran. This later became the residence of John Ormsby Cooke. It was partially damaged by fire in 1920 and Cooke eventually abandoned the property which became derelict. It was demolished in the 1930s.
Achonry House	John Docker was leasing Achonry House from the Armstrong estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8. McTernan states that local tradition suggests the house was built by Docker when he leased the property from the Armstrongs. It was subsequently occupied, until the 1930s, by the Gorman family. It is still extant and has recently been renovated.
Larkhill	A late nineteenth century house which replaced an earlier residence on an adjacent site. Held by the Greer family from the Perceval estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the house was valued at £1. The property was later acquired by the Bell family who built the existing house. Purchased in the twentieth century by the Taylor family and still extant and occupied.

In the 1840s the property was purchased by Col.Perceval of Templehouse and later in the nineteenth century by the Coopers of Markree, by whom the present house was built in 1887. The house had a number of owners since and is still extant and occupied.
