John Marcus Clements, MP for Leitim, is described as "of Glenboy". He was nephew of Robert Clements, 1st Earl of Leitrim. A house at Glenboy was the residence of John Algeo in 1814. Glenboy is described as a seat of the Algeo family by Lewis in 1837 while Hollymount is the residence of the Armstrong family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lewis Algeo was leasing house at Glenboy, valued at £25, to Simon Armstrong while he was also leasing a house from the Clements estate valued at £12.

| Larkfield | In 1786 Wilson refers to Larkfield as the seat of Mr. Donnell. Larkfield is described as a very plain house but nevertheless its construction is alleged to have caused financial embarrassment for the O'Donnell estate.

After the purchase of the estate by the Land Commission in the 1930s the house was demolished and another house has been constructed on the site. | |
