House name	Description
Cottlestown	The Kirkwood estate was centred on Cottlestown House. The name seems to have sometimes been known as Castletown and this is how it appears on the First ed. OS sheet but documentary evidence would seem to suggest the estate was also known as Cottlestown. The Buildings of Ireland survey states that it is likely that the present house was added to an earlier, probably eighteenth century structure, which in turn replaced the fortified house on the site. On modern OS sheets the townland is known as Cottlestown. This property later became part of the Boyd estate.
Moyview	Moyview was part of the Wingfield estate but was let to other families at different times. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Robert Warren and was valued at £12. There is still an occupied house at this site though McTernan notes that the original house was an eighteent-century single story thatched residence.
Knockroe	Knockroe house was part of the Wingfield estate and at the time of Griffith's Valuation was valued at £12. The property is now part of a farm. The remains of the entrance gates are supported by an iron bedpost!
Scurmore	In 1786 Wilson writes that Scurmore House was the seat of Mr. Nisbett. Later, in the nineteenth century it became a seat of the Wingfields. In the 1830s it is described as undergoing repairs but the family were again occupying it by 1857. The house is recorded as the property of S.L. Lewis in 1906 when it was valued at £37. McTernan states that the house was demolished in the mid twentieth century. A later house now exists at the site but the original outbuildings are still intact.
Crosspatrick	The Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the building of a house in 1832, the residence of James Knox who held the townland from Mary Boyd. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was occupied by William Kirkwood. Some floor tiles, which remain in the present farmyard at Crosspatrick, indicate the site of the house which no longer exists.
Broadlands	The home of the Knox Gore family, let to Patrick C Howley in the 1830s. It was leased by John Knox, of the Rappa Castle family, at the time of Griffith's Valuation when the house was valued at £15 10s. . A house is still extant at this site.
Bartragh House	A Kirkwood family home in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the property was leased by William Hopper from the Kirkwood estate when the buildings were valued at £16. A house is still extant at the site though in a dilapidated state.
Belleek Manor/Abbey	Built in 1831 in the Gothic style. The seat of Maj.-Gen Saunders Knox-Gire in 1894. It was sold in 1940 to the Beckett family who resold it to Mayo County Council. It became a santorium but now functions as the hotel known as Belleek Castle.
Moyne Abbey	Associated with the Lindsey family in the 17th century it was leased to the Knoxes by James O'Hara, Lord Tyrawley, for 999 years in 1741. The Knoxes built a private residence on to the east end of the friary. At various time the Jones, Palmer and Kirkwood families leased parts of Moyne. Thomas Jones sold his interest in the Landed Estates' Court in 1867. The Ordnance Survey Name Books record that Peter Nolan, agent to Sir William Palmer, lived in a neat cottage in the east of the townland. This may be the property labelled Moyne House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s (G228287), the remains of which are still extant.
Quignamanger	Charles Craig was leasing a property valued at £6 at Quigamanger, barony of Tireragh, from Edward Howley at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Since 1898 this townland has been located in county Mayo. Modern housing exists in this location now.
Rinroe House	Rinroe was leased from the Wingfield estate by John Boyd at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8. It later became a residence of the Ormsby family, relatives of the Ormsbys of Glen, and remained in that family until the 1960s. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson refers to it as "Bunro, the seat of Mr. Leech". The house is still extant.
