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.
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.
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.
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.

Woodhill House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Lewis Jones was leasing Woodhill house, valued at £25, at Knockaculleen, barony of Tireragh, from Anne Jones. 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.
Farrenmacfarrell	James Ormsby was occupying this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6. McTernan states that the house was built by Thomas Ormsby at the end of the eighteenth century. In 1906, the house at Farranmacfarrell was owned by Alexander Cuffe and was valued at £7. The house is still extant but appears to be unoccupied.
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.
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.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James McMunn, MD, had been leasing this property from the Brinkley estate, when it was valued at £8. The property is labelled Bridge House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. It is still extant.
Cooga Lodge	The house at Cooga was valued at £26 in 1906 and was the property of John Howley.At the time of Griffith's Valuation Patrick Howley had a steward's house here, valued at £4, together with 300 acres. [Grid Reference is approximate]. Local folklore suggests it afterwards became the residence of the local priest.
Kilmacurkan	In 1906 John L. Brinkley owned property valued at £20 at Kilmacurkan, barony of Tireragh. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the only building on his lands here was a herd's house valued at 5s. A substantial building is indicated on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s but no trace of this remains now. Local sources indicate that this was a scutch/flax mill, of which the ruins still stand including the traces of the flax ponds, various sheds, etc that are present on the 1890 map.
Ballygreighen	In 1906 Henry E. King owned over 350 acres of untenanted land and buildings valued at £10, at Ballygreighen, barony of Tireragh. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Andrew Finnegan was leasing a property valued at £8 from the King estate at Ballygreighen. The original buildings is no longer extant.
Cuffe House or Camcuil	Camcuill townland was part of Peter Niddrie's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house with highest value was that of Edward Larrinan, leasing a property valued at £3 from Peter Niddrie. McTernan states that the house had originally belonged to the Brownes and later the Jones family of Fortland. In 1874 the sale notice referring to the Niddrie estate mentions Camcuill as "a comfortable dwelling house with extensive offices, recently erected". In 1906 a house in this townland is recorded as the property of the representatives of Grace Niddrie.

Later, as Seafield House, it was the residence of James McMunn,MD. In 1906 James McMunn, M.D. is recorded as the occupier of property at Killeenduff townland, barony of Tireragh, including a mansion house. Seafield was derelict for some time but has recently been restored.

Later the house passed by marriage to the Boyd family who sold it in the early twentieth century. It is still extant and has been renovated.
Roslea Cottage	A house built after the publication of the first Ordnance Survey map. It was leased by Hugh Kivilican from the Brinkley estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. It is still extant though in need of restoration and in 2012 was offered for sale.
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.
Prospect House	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates the building of this house to about 1770. Slater’s Directory records John Thompson of Prospect House in 1846. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation this house was vacant but held by Mary A. Sanderson of Cloverhill. This house is now a ruin.
