Jamestown House was held by the O'Beirne family until the twentieth century though in 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Gilbert King, junior. In 1906 it was also valued at £40. It is still extant and occupied.
Hatley Manor	This house was built c. 1830. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Charles St. George was leasing it to Diana Faris. It was later inherited by the Whyte family of Newtown Manor and is recorded by Slater as the seat of Charles C. Beresford Whyte in 1894. It is still extant and had been in use by the Bank of America. In April 2007 it was offered for sale.
Castlecarra (Leitrim)	This house was occupied by the Peyton family later in the 19th century. In 1814 it was the address of Mr. A. O'Beirne. In 1906, when it was the property of Mrs. William Peyton it was valued at £10.

His wife Diana is recorded as the occupier of the house known as Shannon Lodge at the time of Griffith's Valuaiton, when it was valued at £30. Pyle states that after Alick Faris died Diana married a French aide of the St.George's, Victor de l'Herrault. She resided at Shannon Lodge for some time but after her second husband died she moved to Sligo and rented Shannon Lodge to her brother, James. She died in 1890.
Killukin Glebe/Killukin House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Archdeacon Henry Irwin was occupying the Glebe House in the parish of Killukin, valued at £11. This property is labelled Killukin House on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. A house is still extant at the site.
Danesfort (Roscommon)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Roycroft was leasing the house at Danesfort, valued at £12, from Miss M. O'Connor. In 1814 it was recorded as the seat of Gilbert Roycroft. Lewis also describes "Deansfort" as the seat of the Roycroft family in 1837. Keenehan and others state that the Roycroft house was demolished c.1890 and another house constructed on the site by the Duignan family.
Cloongownagh	Thomas and Andrew Kirkwood had houses in this locality in 1814. Thomas resided at Hermitage and Andrew at Lakeview. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Andrew Kirkwood was occupying a property at Cloongownagh, barony of Boyle, valued at £13. Keenehan and others state that Cloongownagh House was built in 1690. It was occupied by the Kirkwood family until 1939 when Col. Moore Kirkwood sold the house and 109 acres. The house is still extant and occupied and is now part of a farm.
Springfield House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Keogh was leasing a house at Cultycuneen, barony of Boyle, valued at £13, to Joseph Backhouse. Keenahan and others state that this house was built by the Backhouse family in the 1790s. It remained in the family until the mid twentieth century. It is still extant and has been recently refurbished.
Hughestown	The seat of the Mulloy family is described as Hughestown but at the time of Griffith's Valuation the buildings at this location are described as "offices" and have a low valuation. C.M. Mulloy was resident at "Husetown"in 1749. Wilson refers to Hughes-town as the seat of Mr. Molloy in 1786. In 1814 Hughestown was the seat of Mulloy McDermott.
Charlestown House	In 1786 Wilson refers to Charlestown as the "the fine seat of Mr. King, most delightfully situated on the Shannon". The first Ordnance Survey map marks both Charlestown House and Charlestown Old House closeby at M984 976. Valued at £46 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1894 Charlestown was the residence of Sir Gilbert King. The house is no longer extant but extensive estate architecture survives.
Holywell	Holywell was built in the 1790s. In the early nineteenth century it was leased from the St. George estate by the Dockery family who in turn leased it to the Munns family, doctors in Carrick-on-Shannon. It was later the home of the Kiernan family and is now a country guesthouse.
Caldragh	Eliza Lawder was leasing a house valued at £7 10s at Caldragh, parish of Kiltoghert, from George Muntz at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of the McDermott family. This house is still extant and run as a guesthouse by the Jackson family.
Cartown	In 1783 Taylor and Skinner recorded Cartown, close to the town of Carrick-on-Shannon, as a seat of the Cunningham family and Wilson, writing in 1786, also refers to it as the seat of Mr. Cunningham. At the time of Griffith's Valuation George Church was in possession of a property in this townland, valued at £12, described as "unfinished". The house shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s is substantially larger than the 18th century house. The house now at this site has had commercial premises attached to it but is still extant.
Hartley	At the time of Griffith's Valuations Charles St. George was leasing a house valued at £10 at Hartley, barony of Leitrim, to Robert Burns. It is unclear if this house has survived due to dense forestry and building of modern mansions.
Holly Park (Leitrim)	In 1786 Wilson refers to a house close to Leitrim village as the seat of William Houghton. He may be referring to the house named on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as Holly Park. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Francis La Touche was leasing this property, valued at £4, at Tullylannan, to Edgar Macklin. Extensive redevelopment has taken place in this area
