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.
Temple House The Temple House estate extended into the Civil parishes of Cloonoghill and Emlaghfad as well as in the parish of Kilvarnet where the house is located. In 1786 Wilson refer to Temple-house as the seat of Mr. Perceval. The present house was built c.1820 but was subsequently modified. In 1894 the house was noted by Slater as the seat of Mrs. Perceval. Remains of earlier Perceval houses are to be seen in the demesne. Photo of Temple House
Greyfort Alexander Perceval was the lessor of a property valued at almost £6 at Lislea, barony of Corran, which he was leasing to James Dale at the time of Griffith's Valuation. McTernan notes the house as the seat of the Rea family from the mid-seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. A number of other families occupied the house up until the 1980s when it was demolished.
Drimrane At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Taaffe was leasing a property at Drimraine, barony of Corran, valued at £6 to John Davis. It was in use as a herd's house accompanying a holding of over 100 acres. McTernan states that Davies subsequently sold the property to the Reynolds family in whose possession it still remains.
Earlsfield Earlsfield had earlier been a Dodwell property. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased from the Gore-Booth estate by Capt. Richard Gethin and was valued at £20.

Carrowkeel At the time of Griffith's Valuation John F. MacDonagh held property valued at £12 at Carrowkeel, barony of Corran, from the Gore Booth estate. Lewis also records this as a MacDonagh property, describing it as a "fine modern residence". McTernan notes that Carrowkeel was probably built by Francis MacDonagh at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It remained in the family until its sale in the Landed Estates Court. It is still extant and occupied.
Clooncunny At the time of Griffith's Valuation Thomas Rice was leasing a property valued at £5 together with over 150 acres at Clooncunny, barony of Leyny, from the Kirkwood estate. Lewis records Thomas Rice's seat as Achonry in 1837. A house and farm are still extant at this location.
Annaghmore (Nymphsfield) Annaghmore has been the principal seat of the O'Haras since medieval times. An earlier house on the site had been demolished by 1684. It's successor was replaced by the present house c.1820. That house was known in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century as Nymphsfield and is described by McParlan in 1802. In 1786 Wilson refers to Nymphsfield as the pleasant seat of Mr. O'Hara. The name of the house was changed back from Nymphsfield to Annaghmore in the early 19th century and the house was further enlarged. In 1894 it was the seat of Capt. Charles K. O'Hara. In 1906 the house was valued at £68. Annaghmore is still extant and occupied by the O'Hara family. Photo of Annaghmore (Nymphsfield)
Longford House Longford House was built in the mid-18th century but was destroyed in a fire in the early 19th century,c1816. It is this house to which Wilson refers as the seat of Mr. Crofton in 1786. Another house was built adjacent to the original. McTernan notes that this house also suffered fire damage in both 1840 and again in 1916. At the time of Griffith's Valuation a house at Longford Demesne was valued at £13 and was the property of Sir Malby Crofton. In 1906 this was the property of Sir Malby Crofton and was valued at £30. The later Longford House is still extant and occupied. The original is an impressive ruin. Photo of Longford House

Cloonamahon In 1854 when the estate was offered for sale by Thomas James Meredith the house was described as "a good slated dwelling-house..somewhat out of repair, but with a little outlay, it could be made very comfortable". In 1906 Dr. Henry Tweedy was the owner of buildings valued at £50 at the site. Following the departure of the Tweedy family the property was used as a sanitorium and later a retreat centre. McTernan notes that the original house was demolished in 1976 and replaced by modern buildings. Most of the site is now occupied by a Health Service facility.
Knockadoo At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house at Knockadoo was occupied by Meredith Thompson and was valued at £11. McTernan indicates that it had previously been owned by the Savage family and sold to the Thompsons in the 1840s, leaseholders since the eighteenth century. In the 1880s, Knockadoo was sold to the Heather family who ran a horse-breeding business there until the 1930s when the property was acquired by the Land Commission. The house was subsequently damaged by fire but has been extensively restored in recent times.
Spotfield Spotfield appears to have been the property of the Phibbs family in the 19th century but in the 18th century may have been occupied by the White family who had intermarried with the Phibbs. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was leased by John Phibbs to Eccles Phibbs. The house was then valued at almost £4. McTernan notes that the house was demolished in the latter part of the twentieth century.

Bellamont House Archaeological research would appear to indicate that Richard Coote had a fortified house at Collooney sometimes referred to as Bellamont House or Collooney Castle. A later structure in the town, also known as Bellamont House, is not associated with the Coote family. A possible site for Collooney Castle has been identified by Timoney drawing on earlier sources such as Terence O'Rorke.
