House name	Description
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.
Clooskirt	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Mrs. Ormsby Gore was leasing this property to William Wilson. It was then valued at £12. At the same time Ruttledge Burrowes was leasing a property valued at £4 with over 140 acres of land from the Ormsby Gore estate. Johnston states that a "model farm" was established here in the later nineteenth century. This townland is mentioned as Clooshire, in 1906, when George Ormsby Gore was the owner of the property but there is no valuation given for buildings at that time. It was subsequently lived in by the St. Lawrence family.
Castle Neynoe/Ballysumaghan House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Richard B. Neynoe was leasing property at Ballysumaghan, barony of Tirerrill, to Henry Griffith, when it was valued at £30. Johnston states that Griffith changed its name to Ballysumaghan House. In 1906 it was the property of M.F.B. Stack. The house was stripped and the contents auctioned in the 1930s. Castle Neynoe was a ruin for many years but began to be restored in 2007.
Doonally	This property was sometimes known as Doonalla. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Mary Fury who was leasing it from Phillip Gumley when it was valued at £6. Lewis recorded it as a residence of Owen Phibbs in 1837.
Bloomfield	Johnston states that Bloomfield was once part of the Phibbs estate before passing into the ownership of the Martins of Cleaveragh. In 1814 it was occupied by William White. James Martin owned the property at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at almost £6 and leased to Joseph Robinson. It remained in the Robinson family until the twentieth century and was demolished in 1948.
Castle Dargan	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Castle Dargan was the property of John Ormsby and was valued at £14. McTernan writes that the Ormsbys had been in possession of the lands since the seventeenth century and had lived at the "old" castle before the building of the house. In 1906 it was owned by John Hosie. It continued in the Hosie family until c.2004 when it was converted into a hotel and golf course. The house has been refurbished and is in use.

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.
Friarstown	In 1856 William Leith was leasing Friarstown from John Johnston at which time it was valued at £20. In the 1870s it was the address of Thomas Robert Palmer who owned over 1600 acres in Leitrim at that time.

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. It was valued at £15 at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was occupied by John O'Donnell. 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.

The Irish Tourist Association survey in the 1940s records that "every stone was taken away to build houses throughout the district". An earlier castle also in Belhavel is reputed to have been built by the first Montgomery to settle in the area in the seventeenth century.

Carrick House	Johnston states that Carrickcoola was owned by the Ormsby Gore estate but was the residence of the McLoghrey family. McTernan indicates that the original house was of two stories but that this was later replaced by a single storey building. The Ormsby Gore estate owned 22 acres of untenanted land in Carrickcoola, barony of Tirerrill, in 1906 but the buildings are not listed. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Maj. Ormsby Gore owned the townland and was leasing a house valued at only 10s to Thomas McCloghrey together with over 130 acres.
Ballyglass House	Ballyglass House was in the possession of the Rev. William Gillmor at the time of the sale of lands in November 1854. There were two substantial houses in Ballyglass townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation in 1856. One, valued at £16, was leased from John Wynne by Rev. Gillmor, while the second was being leased from him by James Duncan. McTernan notes that it was purchased from Gillmor by Peter O'Connor and used by members of that family up until the twentieth century. Slater records it as his seat in 1894. It is still extant and occupied.

It was demolished in the 1990s.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Wynne was leasing the house in Cloghermore to James Patterson when it was valued at almost £7. In 1894, Slater refers to it as the seat of Captain Gethin. This house is still extant and has recently been extensively renovated.
