House name	Description
Cloverhill	Cloverhill was part of the Earl of Erne's estate in county Sligo. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was leased to William C. Chambers when it was valued at £28. In 1786 Wilson had noted it as a seat of "Mr. Chalmers" so it had been occupied by that family since the eighteenth century. Cloverhill House was demolished in 1988. Some remains of estate walls visible.
Breeogue	Matthew Walsh was leasing this property from the Earl of Erne's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at almost £6. Breeogue House is still extant and occupied.

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.

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.
Annaghmore (Nymphsfield)	Annaghmore has been the principal seat of the O'Haras since medieval times. An earlier house on the site had been demolished by 1684. It's successor was replaced by the present house c.1820. That house was known in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century as Nymphsfield and is described by McParlan in 1802. In 1786 Wilson refers to Nymphsfield as the pleasant seat of Mr. O'Hara. The name of the house was changed back from Nymphsfield to Annaghmore in the early 19th century and the house was further enlarged. In 1894 it was the seat of Capt. Charles K. O'Hara. In 1906 the house was valued at £68. Annaghmore is still extant and occupied by the O'Hara family.
Markree Castle	Markree Castle was built in the early nineteenth century replacing an earlier property, which McParlan indicates was known as Mercury. McTernan notes that it is the oldest residential site in the county, having been founded by Cornet Cooper in the seventeenth century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was owned by Edward J. Cooper and was valued at £90. By the mid twentieth century it had fallen into disrepair but was later acquired by another member of the Cooper family. It now operates as a hotel. See http://www.markreecastle.ie/history.htm for more information. In 2014 it was offered for sale.
Clooskirt	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Mrs. Ormsby Gore was leasing this property to William Wilson. It was then valued at £12. At the same time Ruttledge Burrowes was leasing a property valued at £4 with over 140 acres of land from the Ormsby Gore estate. Johnston states that a "model farm" was established here in the later nineteenth century. This townland is mentioned as Clooshire, in 1906, when George Ormsby Gore was the owner of the property but there is no valuation given for buildings at that time. It was subsequently lived in by the St. Lawrence family.
Rockbrook	Rockbrook was originally a Phibbs property. It later came into the possession of Abraham Martin of Cleveragh who leased it to the Cogan family and later to the Lougheed estate. It was occupied by John Lougheed at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £3. Johnston states that the estate was divided by the Land Commission in the 1920s and that the house was sold by Mrs. Lougheed in 1938. It burnt down in 1945 and only the ruins remain today.
Castle Neynoe/Ballysumaghan House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard B. Neynoe was leasing property at Ballysumaghan, barony of Tirerrill, to Henry Griffith, when it was valued at £30. Johnston states that Griffith changed its name to Ballysumaghan House. In 1906 it was the property of M.F.B. Stack. The house was stripped and the contents auctioned in the 1930s. Castle Neynoe was a ruin for many years but began to be restored in 2007.
Doonally	This property was sometimes known as Doonalla. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Mary Fury who was leasing it from Phillip Gumley when it was valued at £6. Lewis recorded it as a residence of Owen Phibbs in 1837.

It passed to the Toler family, earls of Norbury, through marriage. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Bernard Owen Cogan, leasing from Lady Norbury's estate. It was then valued at £20. Lewis also records it as being occupied by the Cogan family in 1837. Johnston asserts that the Cogans acted as agents for Lady Norbury's estate in Ireland. The house was demolished early in the twentieth century. Very few traces remain except some walls of the stable yard and a building which had been an annex to the big house.
Coopershill	Coopershill House was completed in 1774. McParlan described its situation as delightful in 1802. Lewis records it as the seat of Arthur Cooper in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Charles William Cooper and valued at £52. Charles William Cooper later succeeded his uncle as owner of the O'Hara of Annaghmore estate and henceforth Coopershill bacame an O'Hara property. He is recorded as the owner in 1894. The house is still extant and run as a guesthouse by the O'Hara family.
Castle Dargan	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Castle Dargan was the property of John Ormsby and was valued at £14.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was leased by John Phibbs to Eccles Phibbs. The house was then valued at almost £4. McTernan notes that the house was demolished in the latter part of the twentieth century.

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.

Part of the extensive farmyard of Ardagh House has been converted into residential accommodation.

McTernan states that the property remained in the Burrows family until the early 1900s. It became vacant after the last of the family died and was eventually converted into farm-buildings.
Bellamont House	Archaeological research would appear to indicate that Richard Coote had a fortified house at Collooney sometimes referred to as Bellamont House or Collooney Castle. A later structure in the town, also known as Bellamont House, is not associated with the Coote family. A possible site for Collooney Castle has been identified by Timoney drawing on earlier sources such as Terence O'Rorke.

Greenfield Cottage/Greenville	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Henry Burrowes was leasing a property valued at almost £8 from the O'Hara estate at Coolaney. This seems to be the property marked on the 1st edition OS Map as Greenfield Cottage. It appears on the 25-inch Ordnance survey of the 1890s as Greenville. The original house is no longer extant.
Somerton	Somerton House appears to have been the residence of the agent to the Perceval estate. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the latter estate was owned by R.W. Hall-Dare. Somerton was then occupied by Christopher L'Estrange and was valued at £14. It is still extant.
