| Derryquin Castle | At the time of Griffith’s Valuation James F. Bland was leasing a property valued at £29 at Derryquin, from the Guinness estate. Lewis, in 1837, and Leet, in 1814, record the house as the seat of Francis C. Bland . The property was eventually sold by the Blands to the Warden family. In 1906 it was owned by Col. Charles W. Warden and valued at £70. The Wardens resided there until it was burnt in 1922. It was located in the grounds of what is now the Parknasilla Hotel but the ruins were demolished in 1969.

| Hollywood | Frederick Hyde was leasing a house valued at almost £10 from the Bland estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. Lewis records Hollywood as the seat of the Hyde family in 1837. Frederick Hyde was married to Elizabeth Bland. Bary states that the house was built in the 1830s, possibly on the site of an older house. It was occupied by the Bland family after they sold Derryquin but later fell into disrepair and is now a ruin. | |
| Drimna House | James F. Bland was leasing a house valued at £7 to Rev. Arthur Watson at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. In 1906 Col. Charles W. Warden owned a property at Drimnamore, valued at £3 10s. It is still extant. | |
| Rossdohan | In 1906, Samuel T. Heard, MD, owned this property at Rossdohan, barony of Dunkerron South, when it was valued at £27. Bary states that this house was built in 1875 by Thomas Heard, a surgeon who had retired from India. He died in the early 1920s and the house was burned around that time. There are remains of a later house still visible on the island. |
