The castle was severly damaged by the 'Big Wind' in January 1839. Demolished in the 1950s.
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.

It passed into Knox ownership through marriage and was the seat of this influential branch of the Knox family throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as "the pleasant seat of Mr. Knox". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Annesley Knox and valued at £30. Slater notes it as the seat of Captain Annesley Knox in 1894. Occupied by the Knox family until the early 20th century, the house is now a ruin.

The Lodge	A house with foundations dating from the 17th century, visited by Mary Delaney in the 1730s and occupied by the French in 1798. By 1837 it was the home of T. Kirkwood and, in the mid 19th century, of the Very Reverend J. Collins who held the property valued at £20 from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. In the late 19th century this house was the home of Captain Alfred Charles Knox, a younger son of John Knox of Castlerea, Killala. Bence Jones writes that the house was enlarged circa 1820 by the addition of a bow shaped wing and that for a time it was the home of the Pery Knox Gore family. In the later 19th century the house was the home of the Timony family who owned a substantial import business in Killala. In the later 20th century owned by Lord Rathcaven and now the Irish home of Noeleen Farrell.
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.
Carnisk	John Sproule was leasing this property from Sir James Stewart's estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £18. This appears to be the house labelled Carnisk on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early twentieth century. An earlier house, shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map, was located nearby at C209209. A large farming complex exists at the Carnisk site now.
