House name Description
Oatlands House The residence of the O'Dowds of Bunnyconnellan until the sale of their estate in 1854 when it was bought by Charles Downing and leased to Henry McLoghry. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Downing held it in fee when it was valued at £10. It is labelled Bunnyconnellan Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but as Oatlands House on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. This is the name by which it is still known. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to Oaklands House owned by Mr McAndrew in which some of the old O'Dowd house was probably incorporated. The house has been restored and in 2015 was offered for sale.
Glencarha The Ordnance Survey Names Books record that the house was 'a new edifice not yet finished', the intended residence of George Fenton, an attorney of Kilglass, near Ballina, who was leasing the townland. The house was occupied by Isaac McLoghry at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings are still extant at the site.
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. Photo of Cottlestown
