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
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.
Longford House	Longford House was built in the mid-18th century but was destroyed in a fire in the early 19th century,c1816. It is this house to which Wilson refers as the seat of Mr. Crofton in 1786. Another house was built adjacent to the original. McTernan notes that this house also suffered fire damage in both 1840 and again in 1916. At the time of Griffith's Valuation a house at Longford Demesne was valued at £13 and was the property of Sir Malby Crofton. In 1906 this was the property of Sir Malby Crofton and was valued at £30. The later Longford House is still extant and occupied. The original is an impressive ruin.
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.
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.
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. Both Leet in 1814 and Lewis in 1837 also record it as a residence of the Fenton family. In 1864 Thomas Fenton offered it for sale in the Landed Estates Court. 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.
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.
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.
Carrowculleen House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lecarrow was the property of Thomas Guilfoyle and was valued at £14. In 1906 Anthony Guilfoyle was the owner of the house at Lecarrow, valued at £31. McTernan notes that the property was purchased by Anthony Gilfoyle, a leading Sligo merchant, c.1806. It was extended in the 1840s. From the 1920s until the 1990s it was owned by the Mercy Order. The house is now part of the Holy Hill Hermitage complex.
Toberpatrick (Skreen)	Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to "Tubberpatrick" as the seat of Captain Jones. In 1837 Lewis recorded Tubberpatrick House as a seat of the Jones family. At the time of the estate sale in the Encumbered Estates court in April 1852, the house at Tubberpatrick was described as "a dwelling house fit for the reception of a gentleman, with offices and garden on the demesne". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the property of Peter O'Connor and was valued at £15. Toberpatrick House is still extant and occupied. In 2008 it was offered for sale through Knight Frank estate agents [Irish Times, 13 March 2008].
Leekfield	Leekfield was originally a Wood property which came into the Webb family through the marriage of Sarah Wood to Daniel Webb Webber. It is recorded as his residence in 1814. McTernan notes that the Webber estate, including Leekfield House and demesne lands, was offered for sale by Charles Tankerville Webber in the 1890s. Leekfield was acquired by Michael Higgins, who had been the agent for the Webber estate. It was demolished in the 1960s.
Seafort House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard Wood was leasing a property valued at £14 at Carrowbrickeen, barony of Tireragh, from the representatives of Arthur Cooper. Lewis records Seafort House as a residence of the Wood family in 1837. In 1814 it was the seat of Richard Wood. McTernan notes that Seafort House was demolished in the twentieth century and a modern house stands at the site.
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.

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.
