House name	Description
Dove Hall	This house is labelled Dove Hall on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A larger house, named Belgarrow House, is shown at the site on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. It was occupied by Courtney Strogen and his descendants during the 19th century, held on lease from the Evans family. Occupied by John A. Knox in 1906. Belgarrow is now a ruin.
Moorbrook	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Moore-field" as the seat of Mr. Moore. Leet's Directory records 'Moorfield' as an 'unoccupied seat' in 1814. The house appears, however, to have become known as Moorbrook as it is thus labelled on the Ordnance Survey maps. Henry Wills held Moorbrook at the time of the sale in 1854. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it is described as a "herd's house" and occupied by Francis O'Grady. It is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. A modern house has been constructed near the site.
Mullaghawny	Charles 'Sturgeon' (Strogen) was resident at Mullaghawny when Leet's Directory was compiled in 1814 and the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the dilapidated state of a mansion house in the townland of Mullaghawny belonging to Charles Strogen. Only a small portion of the buildings are visible on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.

Rahans was described in 1855 as "a comfortable dwelling house, in a fair state of repair" and occupied by Mrs Frances Atkinson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the home of George Orme.

It appears, from the Ordnance Survey Name Books, that the townland of Knockalyre or Downhill was part of the Gore estate in 1836. Dr. McHugh of Ballina also had an interest in the property which he was renting to Rev. Thomas Feeney in 1857.
