House name	Description
Tonroe	Another Gardiner house in the parish of Rathreagh. At the time of the Ordnance Survey in the 1830s it was described as being in bad repair and occupied by a herd. P Ruane described the dilapidated state of the house in the mid 1990s but writes that the setting was very attractive.
Courthill	The house was built in 1768. In 1786 Wilson refers to "Ranadyff" which may be this property, as a seat of Mr. Gardiner. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the occupier was Lacklin Chisholm. Frank Boland had a racing stable at Courthill in the 1940s and trained a horse named 'Lough Conn', who came second in the Aintree Grand National of 1947.
Springhill	Springhill was occupied by Francis Goodwin in 1814 and by Thomas Goodwin in 1837. By the time of Griffith's Valuation Bartholomew Donohoe was leasing the townland from the Palmer estate but the buildings were only valued at 10s. Springhill is labelled as "in ruins on the 25-inch map of the 1890s and there is no trace of it now.
Netley House	The home of Henry William Knox, fourth son of Francis Knox of Rappa, occupied by Richard Burke at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £30.. The house is now a ruin.
Greenwoodpark	Built in 1814, the home of Major John Knox, sixth son of Francis Knox of Rappa and sold by his daughter Florence to her cousin, a Knox of Mount Falcon. The Armitages lived at Greenwoodpark in the 20th century but the house is now a ruin.
Knockglass House/Woodville	Also known as Knockglass House, this residence was situated close to the demesne of Greenwoodpark. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by John McDonnell from Major Knox when it was valued at £6. It is labelled Knockglass House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but appears to be in ruins by the publication of the 25-inch edition map in the 1890s.
Owenmore or Millbrook	Ordnance Survey Field Name Books record a 'neat cottage' in the townland of Correens, built in 1796 and called Millbrook. Irish Tourist Association File records Owenmore as the residence of the Misses Knox in 1942, erected about 1830 by the Orme family. The house belonged to the McCausland family in the latter part of the 20th century. Now owned by Gerry O'Mara.
Belville	An Orme home in the first half of the 19th century. Described in 1942 by the Irish Tourist Association surveyor as a large house near the church at Ballyglass, formerly owned by the Orme family and "purchased some years ago by Mr MacDonald, Kilfian. It has remained unoccupied...", due to a popular belief among the local people that the house was haunted. It is no longer extant.
Fahy	Built 1796, a former Paget home occupied by Ernest Knox of the Castlereagh family in the late 1830s. Lackland Chisholm was the tenant at Fahy in 1853. The original house is no longer extant.
Ballybroony	An 18th century house, occupied by Fallon in the late 1770s and in 1786. The residence of the Perkins family from the early 19th century. It was held by Arthur Perkins from the Earl of Arran at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £17. Lived in until the early 21st century and for sale in 2006. Restoration work was underway in 2010.
Smithstown House	Ruane writes that the house was built by the Palmers and became a Royal Irish Constabulary barracks. It was the home of the Pugh family in the 1830s. The only building in the townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation, of more than £2 valuation, was the barracks. Sold in 1988 and now the home of Mrs Loretta Clarke Murray and family.
Farragh	An 18th century house on the Palmer estate. Wilson refers to it as a residence of Mr. Palmer in 1786. Leased to the Waldrons in the early 19th century and occupied by Hector Sutherland at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at almost £8. The original building is no longer extant.
Rathowen	In 1786 Wilson refers to a house which he calls "Rathrone", a mile and a half West of Killala, which was part of the estate of the Bishop of Killala. At that time it was occupied by James Rogers, though Wilson indicates it was the property of Rev. G. Rogers, Chancellor of Dromore. Most of the townland was in the possession of William Kirkwood, leasing from Harriett Gardiner, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house is no longer extant.
