House name	Description
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.
Fortland Cottage	Fortland Cottage was built on part of the Cullen estate in the 18th and was the home of Jane Cullen and her husband G. Gledstanes in the mid-nineteenth century.
Fortland House	John Massy was leasing a building valued at £8 to John Rutherford here in 1856. This is Fortland House which is still extant and occupied.
Upper Thornhill House	Burke’s Landed Gentry of Ireland (1958) records the Nixon family of Thornhill in the 18th century. Thornhill was located on the Parker estate. By the mid-19th century William Nixon was the occupier. The house was valued at £6. The Nixon family continue to live here in the early 20th century. This house is no longer occupied.
Tuam House	Located on the Saunders estate, outside the village of Blacklion, the present house replaced a former building marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). The Hassards lived at Tuam in the 18th century. Griffith’s Valuation records Hugh Bracken as the occupier, when the building was valued at £5. Hugh married Elizabeth Copeland and died in 1861. In 1876, James Bracken of Tuam House owned 51 acres county Cavan and 1,268 acres in county Fermanagh. Members of the Bracken family were resident at Tuam throughout the 20th century. The name of this house is sometimes spelt Toam. It is well maintained and occupied.
