| 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. | |

| Ardnaglass | Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Ardnaglass as the seat of Mr. Jones, "half a mile beyond the ruins of a castle". The castle he refers to is Ardnaglass Castle, also associated with the Jones family. Earlier, in 1739, Reverend William Henry mentions Ardnaglass as the seat of Loftus Jones. By the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was part of the Webber estate, leased by William Graham. He was occupying a property valued at £4. The castle ruins are still extant. |
