House name	Description
Ashbrook	An early 18th century house, it was noted by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Moore in 1786. It was occupied by Michael Costello in 1814 and described as in a dilapidated state at the time of the first Ordnance Survey. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to a two-storey plain featured house with the ruins of a small private chapel closeby, which apparently fell into decay in the early 19th century. Some ruins remain at the site.
Carrowgowan	From at least 1814 the house was occupied by the Deanes who held it from Colonel McAlpine, who held from John Knox of Castlereagh. The house was described as in good repair, with offices, orchard and garden. Daniel H. Mellet occupied the house at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is now demolished.
Oldcastle	Built by the McJordans of Ballylahan in the late 18th century. Slater refers to it as the seat of John Bolingbroke in 1846. There are modern buildings at the site now.
Longfield House	Occupied by Colonel Kelly in 1814 and by Mrs Kelly in the 1830s. A house valued at £4 in this townland in the 1850s was occupied by Andrew Walsh. It is now a ruin.
Barleyhill	In 1786 Wilson noted Barleyhill as the seat of Mr. McManus. Ruane dates the house from about 1748 with alterations in the 1770s and 1790s. He states that the house and 170 acres were occupied by George Harkin at the time of Griffith's Valuation, however the Valuation records Bernard McManus as the occupier of the house valued at £15. Quinn records that Bernard McManus had gone to live at Brownstown in 1856. The Aitken family have lived at Barleyhill for over a hundred years.
Cloongee	Originally a Moore home which was sold by Harloe Phibbs Baker to the McDermotts who lived there until the 20th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Owen McDermott and valued at £7. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes Cloongee as a rare survivor of a late-seventeenth century house in county Mayo. It is still extant and occupied.
Newcastle	Newcastle was the home of Andrew Clarke O'Malley, son of George O'Malley of Spencer Park. Following the death of Andrew's son, Owen Bingham Manners O'Malley, in 1886, Newcastle became the property of his sister, Elizabeth Brewster. Count Manus O'Donel, a Major General in the Austrian Service, lived at Newcastle in the late 18th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of General O'Donnell. Occupied by David Ruttledge in 1814 and by Jacob Beckett at the beginning of the 20th century. Only a portion of the original building is now extant.
Coolaghy Lower	Reverend George Hanson was leasing this property from the Abercorn estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £12. A substantial farm exists at the site.
Tullyrap	Alexander Finlay was leasing this property from the Abercorn estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £25 and had an adjacent mill. A substantial farm still occupies the site.
Raphoe Bishop's Palace	William Ker was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when the buildings were valued at £45. The Bishop's Palace was destroyed by fire in 1838 and has remained a ruin ever since.
Drumineney	David Wilson was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £16. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests that the current house at this site was developed c.1870 from an earlier building. Robert Wilson was also leasing property in this townland at the same time. A house and extensive farm exist at the site.
Tops (Raphoe)	John Wilson was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £18. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the current house was built c.1852 possibly on the site of an earlier house. Eliza Wilson was also leasing property at this location in the 1850s.
Coolaghy (Raphoe)	William Hamilton was leasing this property from Reverend Lord Edward Chichester's estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £20. It appears to have been associated with the Hamilton family for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It is still extant and occupied.
