House name Description
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. In 1814 it was the residence of Andrew Johnston and Lewis also recorded it as a seat of that family in 1837. The original house is no longer extant but modern buildings exist at the site.
Glenboy There were two houses at Glenboy townland, one at least of which was part of the Clements estate but appears to have been leased for long periods to the Algeo family. 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. Houses are still extant at these locations.
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. Photo of Drumahaire Lodge
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.
Hollymount (Drumahaire) Hollymount House is said to have been built around 1730. It was leased to Simon Armstrong by Lewis Algeo. Home of Thomas Corscadden in 1910. It is now a ruin but the outbuildings survive. Photo of Hollymount (Drumahaire)
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. Photo of Drumlease Glebe
Glasdrumman More William Palmer was the owner of a property valued over £7 at Glassdrumman More, barony of Rosclogher at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house is still extant and occupied. Photo of Glasdrumman More
Tawnahoney At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick Buchan, agent to the Creevlea Iron Works, was leasing buildings valued at £17 at Tawnahoney, barony of Dromahaire, from John Johnston. This property does not appear to be extant at the time of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map in the 1890s. In 1786 Wilson had noted a property in the nearby townland of Gortermone as a seat of Mr. Johnston. It is not shown on the Ordnance Survey maps.
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.
Grouse Lodge In 1786 Wilson refers to Grouse Lodge as the seat of Mr. Seily. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, this townland was held by the Johnston estate but there is no property with a substantial valuation. The house is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but a larger house appears to have been constructed later on an adjacent site as shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. This property is still extant.
Dunmuckrum At the time of Griffiths Valuation, David Stewart, senior, was leasing a property valued at £10 from the Conolly estate.
