House name	Description
Ellenville or Ardaghowen	The first edition OS Map suggests the house on this site was known at that time as Ellenville. It is now known as Ardaghown, still extant but derelict and was under renovation in 2006. McTernan indicates that it was originally built as a dower house for the Wynne estate. In the 1850s it was held by Owen Wynne from Capt. James Martin and valued at £35.
Percymount	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Wynne held this property at Kiltycahill, when it was described as "Painter's house" and valued at £5. The property had been owned by the Gethin family until its sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in the early 1850s. McTernan states that races were frequently held on the lawn at Percymount between the 1870s and the 1940s. The house is now in a derelict condition.
Hazelwood	Hazelwood was designed for Owen Wynne by the architect Richard Castle and built between 1720 and 1740. Reverend William Henry's account of Sligo in 1739 contains a detailed account of the house. Wilson describes it in 1786 as "a fine and elegant seat". It remained the home of the Wynne family for 200 years. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was owned by John Wynne and was valued at £120. The estate was sold to the Land Commission in the 1920s and the house has had various uses including army accommodation, psychiatric hospital and more latterly, part of an industrial building. Though neglected it survives intact.
Doonally	The Parke family were granted lands at Doonally (or Dunally) in the 17th century. These lands had previously belonged to the O'Connors. The building currently at this site was built c.1830. It was the property of Roger Parke at the time of Griffiths Valuation and was valued at £40. In 1906 it was valued at £44. In the mid-twentieth century it was sold to the North West Cattle Breeders Association and used as an administrative headquarters. It is now vacant but rapidly becoming derelict.
Cleveragh	Capt. James Martin was the lessor of a property valued at £18 at Cleaveragh Demesne, barony of Carbury at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was being leased by Robert Wilson. It continued in Martin ownership until the twentieth century though frequently occupied by tenants. The house and demesne were eventually bought by Sligo Borough Council with the intention of creating a town park though this was only partially realised. The house was demolished in 1999.
Rathbraughan	The 1st edition OS map indicates the house at this location was known as Auburn Cottage. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Edward Smith {Smyth] leasing from William Green and valued at £23. McTernan writes that Smyth was the agent for Lord Palmerston's estate. At times it was leased by members of the Gethin family. It was demolished in the 1980s when Rathbraughan housing estate was built.

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.
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.

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.
