House name	Description
Parke's Castle	This castle was built by Capt. Roger Parke, incorporating an old O'Rourke castle, probably in the first or second decades of the 17th century. This property eventually came into the possession of the Gore family through the marriage of Anne Parke to Sir Francis Gore.
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.
Drumlease Glebe	Rev. Wilby Wynne was occupying Drumlease Glebe, barony of Dromahaire, at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £20. McParlan includes John Carter and brothers of Drumlease on a list of "resident gentlemen of property" in 1802.
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.
Old Castle	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Robert Rogers & others were leasing a property at Kingsfort, barony of Tirerrill, to John Gardiner. It was valued at £10. Earlier, in 1786, Wilson refers to Kingsfort as the seat of Rev. Mr. Dodd. McTernan states that this property was originally part of the Mitchell estate and later became a police barracks. It was demolished in the 1990s.
