House name	Description
Clogherevagh	The house at Clogherevagh now forms part of St. Angela's College, a constituent college of NUI, Galway. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage estimates that the house was built c.1890. At the time of Griffith's Valuation much of the townland was the property of John Wynne's estate. In 1894 Slater notes it as the residence of John Cochrane.
Friarstown	In 1856 William Leith was leasing Friarstown from John Johnston at which time it was valued at £20. In the 1870s it was the address of Thomas Robert Palmer who owned over 1600 acres in Leitrim at that time. In 1814 it was the residence of Andrew Johnston and Lewis also recorded it as a seat of that family in 1837. The original house is no longer extant but modern buildings exist at the site.
Newtown Manor	A house built after the publication of the First Ordnance Survey map. John James Whyte held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when itwas valued at £12. Slater notes that it was the residence of Captain Edward T. Pottinger in 1894. In 1906 Charles B. Whyte was the owner of the house at Carrickfad valued at £22. It is no longer extant.
Drumahaire Lodge	Dromahaire Lodge was part of the Lane-Fox estate and was usually the home of the agent. During the 19th century these included D. Stewart and Joshua Kell. To the rear site are the ruins of a seventeenth-century fortified house, built by Sir William Villiers and formerly the seat of the O'Rourke family.
Sriff Cottage	Sriff Cottage was associated with the Palmer family and possibily originally used as a hunting lodge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased from the Lane Fox estate by Henry Palmer and was valued at £4. This house is still extant and in 2015 was offered for sale.
Sliganagh	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Hugh Gray was leasing a property valued at £3 to Sarah Trimble, at Sliganagh, barony of Drumahaire.
Holywell	In his 1802 description of the Wynne estate McParlan mentions that Rev. Richard Wynne was about to build at Holywell, along the shore of Lough Gill. At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Wynne was leasing the house in Cloghermore to James Patterson when it was valued at almost £7. In 1894, Slater refers to it as the seat of Captain Gethin. This house is still extant and has recently been extensively renovated.
