| Streamstown | Streamstown House was an important seat of the Irwin family in the eighteenth century. McTernan writes that it was a centre of gaiety and music and enjoyed visits from the well known harper, Arthur O'Neill. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of "Mr. Irvine". From the early nineteenth century, however, the family tended to reside elsewhere and Streamstown was usually occupied by a steward or herdsman, At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Henry Irwin was in possession of the property at Streamstown, which consisted of a herd's house and a gatehouse. It was valued at almost £2. In 1894 Slater still refers to it as a residence of Burton Irwin. Only one gable and a chimney of the house remain. | |
| Corsallagh | At the time of Griffith's Valuation Charles O'Connor was leasing a property valued at £8 together with over 250 acres at Corsallagh, barony of Leyny from John N. Farrell. Lewis records it as the seat of Dominick O'Connor in 1837. This house is no longer extant. | |
| Tobercurry | John Brett was leasing a house in the town of Tobercurry to the value of £17 from the Irwin estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Much development has taken place in the vicinity since then. | |
| Ballyara or Ballyhara | The original Ballyara Castle was formerly associated with the O'Hara family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick Mullarkey was leasing a building valued at £3 at Ballyara, barony of Leyny, from the Ffolliott estate. | |
| Carnaleck or Carrownaleck | At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Gray was leasing a property valued at £8 together with 178 acres from Adam Mossman at Carrownaleck, barony of Leyny. This would originally have been part of the Nicholson estate. McTernan notes that the Grays surrendered their lease in the 1880s. The property is still extant and occupied. | |
| Muckelty | Lewis records Muckelty as the seat of Jones Irwin in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Napper Irwin was leasing a property at Muckelty, barony of Leyny, from Henry Irwin. It was valued at almost £3. Farm buildings exist at the site now. | |
| Branchfield House (Leyny) | The residence of the McKim family for many generations, Branchfield was enlarged and extended in the later nineteenth century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held from Catherine Gore by Patrick McKim and valued at £5. McTernan states that the lands were sold to the Congested Districts Board in 1910, though the family retained the house. It is currently undergoing renovation. |
