House name	Description
Quignashee	Edward Howley occupied a property valued at £5 at Quignashee, barony of Tireragh, as well as 300 acres, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Since 1898 this townland has been located in county Mayo. A building remains at the site.
Rahans	The home of the Atkinson family, Wilson notes in 1786 that it was the residence of Charles Atkinson and "very pleasantly situated". It was occupied by the rector of Crossmolina, the Reverend Edwin Stock, for a few years prior to 1815. 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. In 1925 Adelaide R. Orme of New South Wales sold Rahans demesne to Patrick J. Ruttledge of Ballina for £3,000, [see Acc. 1165/8/11 National Archives.] It is no longer extant.
Ardnaree Rectory	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Rev. Joseph Verscoyle was occupying the house at Glebe, parish of Kilmoremoy, valued at £30. This house is no longer extant.
Downhill	The house at Downhill is recorded as being built by Mr. Brennan, Merchant, Ballina. 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. Colonel Knox Gore also had a mill complex in this townland which, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, he was leasing to William Symes. Downhill House became a hotel when it was purchased by the Moylett family in 1936.
Ardnaree Cottage	Ardnaree Cottage dates to at least the early eighteenth century and possibly earlier. It was part of the Gore estate. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to "Mr. Jones' charming demesne". In 1837 it was the residence of Thomas Jones and in 1857 it was leased by Col Arthur Knox Gore to Anne Hearne when it was valued at £10. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes it as an important component of the domestic built heritage of Ballina. It is still extant and well-maintained.
Croftonpark
Croftonpark	Described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books as a 'neat house', built in 1784 and occupied by Hugh Dane [Deane]. Robert Hunter lived there at the time of Griffith's Valuation and Patrick Ruane refers to the recent death of James Hunter, the owner of the house in the early 1990s. The house is still extant but no longer in use.
Belleek Castle/Ballina House	Edward J Howley held Belleek Castle and demesne on a lease originally granted by James O'Hara 2nd Lord Tyrawley to Vaughan Jones for 999 years, dated 25 Mar 1739. He was residing at Belleek in the 1830s. The Castle was leased to the Pery family in the late 1860s. It is now known as Ballina House.
Carrowmore/Carramore	Wilson notes "Keromore" as the seat of Mr. Vaughan in 1786. The Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the house as "a modern structure built in 1819". At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Captain O. Jackson and valued at £30. The Irish Tourist Association File states it was a guest house in the 1940s run by Mrs Reid. Bence Jones writes that it is now a ruin.
Mount Falcon	A lodge and offices were built in 1826. In 1876 the building of Mount Falcon Castle was completed. Bought by the Aldridges in 1932 the Castle was run as a country guest house in the latter part of the 20th century. Following the death of Mrs Aldridge in 2003 the property was bought by the Maloney brothers and is now run as a luxury hotel. See www.mountfalcon.com
Belleek Manor/Abbey	Built in 1831 in the Gothic style. The seat of Maj.-Gen Saunders Knox-Gire in 1894. It was sold in 1940 to the Beckett family who resold it to Mayo County Council. It became a santorium but now functions as the hotel known as Belleek Castle.
Rathmeel	The representatives of William Ormsby were leasing a property valued at £12 at Rathmeel, barony of Tireragh, to Augustus Bolton at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Extensive modern development has taken place in this area.
Quignamanger	Charles Craig was leasing a property valued at £6 at Quigamanger, barony of Tireragh, from Edward Howley at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Since 1898 this townland has been located in county Mayo. Modern housing exists in this location now.
Quignalecka	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Rev. James Lindsay was leasing a property valued at £5 at Quignalecka, to Capt. William Wright. Since 1898 this townland has been part of county Mayo.
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.
