House name	Description
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.
Temple House	The Temple House estate extended into the Civil parishes of Cloonoghill and Emlaghfad as well as in the parish of Kilvarnet where the house is located. In 1786 Wilson refer to Temple-house as the seat of Mr. Perceval. The present house was built c.1820 but was subsequently modified. In 1894 the house was noted by Slater as the seat of Mrs. Perceval. Remains of earlier Perceval houses are to be seen in the demesne.
Abbeyville	Abbeyville was originally a Phibbs property. McTernan states that it was leased to William Fleming after the death of William Phibbs in 1785.The original house was built in 1716 but extensively modernised afterwards. In 1814 it was the residence of William Fleming. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was being leased by James Fleming from William Phibbs and was valued at £6. In the later nineteenth century it passed out of the Fleming family. It was demolished in the later twentieth century. Leet indicates that Archibald Fleming resided at Larkfield, also close to Ballymote.
Drimrane	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Taaffe was leasing a property at Drimraine, barony of Corran, valued at £6 to John Davis. It was in use as a herd's house accompanying a holding of over 100 acres. McTernan states that Davies subsequently sold the property to the Reynolds family in whose possession it still remains.
Earlsfield	Earlsfield had earlier been a Dodwell property. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased from the Gore-Booth estate by Capt. Richard Gethin and was valued at £20. Slater records it as the seat of Francis Gethin in 1894. It is still extant and has served as a convent for many years.
Carrowkeel	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John F. MacDonagh held property valued at £12 at Carrowkeel, barony of Corran, from the Gore Booth estate. Lewis also records this as a MacDonagh property, describing it as a "fine modern residence". McTernan notes that Carrowkeel was probably built by Francis MacDonagh at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It remained in the family until its sale in the Landed Estates Court. It is still extant and occupied.
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.
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.
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.
Keenaghan Mill	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John and Henry Gorman were leasing an extensive milling complex at Keenaghan, barony of Corran from Robert Gore Booth, then valued at £83.
