House name	Description
Corduff House	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage estimates that Corduff House was built c.1780. William Penrose was occupying the house at Corduff, barony of Carrigallen, at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £8. Corduff House is recorded as the seat of the Penrose family by Lewis in 1837. In 1814 it was the residence of George Percy. The house is still extant and occupied.
Garadice	John Percy was leasing the house at Garadice, barony of Carrigallen, from the representatives of William Percy at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £15. In 1814 it was noted as a residence of the Percy family. Lewis records it as the seat of W.C. Percy in 1837. In the 1780s both Taylor and Skinner and Wilson noted Garadice as a Percy residence. The ITA survey recorded it as much deteriorated in the 1940s. It also mentions the existence of a second house belonging to the Percy family in the townland of Carrickmakeegan. The buildings are still extant at Garadice.
Riversdale	Matilda Shanley was leasing Riversdale House at Corrachole to William Lawder in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. In 1837 Lewis records it as the seat of the Shanley family. It is still extant and operates as a farm guesthouse.
Lawderdale	The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage survey states that Lawderdale was built in the early 1850s and has a tower which was added in the 1870s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the property of William Lawder and was valued at £18. In 1906 it was the property of James Ormsby Lawder and was valued at £30. It is still extant.
Mough	Mough was one of the original properties held by the Lawder family from their arrival in the Leitrim area. Burke suggests that Mough afterwards became Lawderdale but map evidence would suggest that they were separate though adjacent properties. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was valued at £18.
Fenagh Glebe	Rev. George Beresford held the Glebe at Fenagh, from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £16. The Buildings of Ireland survey states that the house was built c. 1829. It also records that the nearby church, built c.1790, was extended in the 1850s by the Pack Beresford family. Both buildings are still extant and in use.
Boeeshil House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation William Shanley was leasing a property at Boeeshil, barony of Carrigallen, incuding a house and corn mill, valued at £20, from the Percy estate. There are three mills shown at the site on the 1st edition 6" OS map, including a corn, bleach and flax mill. Lewis records this property as belonging to the Gerard family.
