Heathfield Rev. William Bourke was leasing Heathfield from the Palmer estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £16. Slater notes Heathfield House as the seat of Major W.H. Bourke in 1894. In 1927 the Bourkes moved to county Meath and the house was sold to the Brices, who owned it until 1932. Some ruins of the original house remain.
Ballykinlettragh At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Henry "Faucett" had much of this townland leased from the Binghams of Bingham's Castle, barony of Erris. A building labelled Ballykinletteragh House appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but has disappeared by the publication of the 25-inch edition in the 1890s.
Ballinglen Cottage Leased from the Knoxes of Castlereagh, barony of Tirawley. At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Fawcett occupied property in this townland including a house valued at £12 and a mill. Occupied by Susan Pringle in 1906. Ballinglen Cottage is now in ruins.
Farmhill Built in 1780 this house became the principal seat of the Gardiner family. It was left by Harriet Gardiner to Susan Pringle who died in 1910. Farmhill then became the parochial house until the 1950s when it was demolished. Only the large walled garden now remains.
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.
Palmerstown In 1786 Wilson had noted Palmers Town as the seat of Mr. Palmer. The original Palmer house is marked "in ruins" on the first Ordnance Survey map of the late 1830s. The Irish Tourist Association File states that it was destroyed by fire when the French forces passed by in 1798. In the mid 19th century Henry A Knox, fifth son of Annesley G Knox of Rappa, leased the townland from Sir William Palmer. Knox lived in a house converted from part of the yard buildings of the original house before the mid 1850s. His descendants continue to live there today. Photo of Palmerstown

It was held in fee by Colonel Charles Knox at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £50. It is now a ruin. Photo of Castle Lackan
