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.
Skreeny	Skreeny seems to have been built during the 1690s. It is recorded as a seat of the Cullen family by both Taylor and Skinner and Wilson in the 1780s. During the Famine period it was used as a temporary fever hospital. The townland was in the possession of the Earl of Leitrim by the time of Griffith's Valuation where the only buildings recorded area a gate house and offices, valued at £1 10s. Skreeny House is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. The Irish Tourist Association survey of the 1940s recorded that it was "the ruins of one of the principal gentry seats in the area".
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.
Rockwood	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Hester Cullen was leasing a house valued at £10 at Deerpark, barony of Rosclogher to Thomas Davis, MD. A house still exists on the site of the original Rockwood House.
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.
Brookfield House	Arthur Loftus Tottenham was leasing a house valued at £14 to James Tate here in 1856.
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.
Corrard	Located on the Parker estate the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that there have been three houses built on this site, the present house dates from the 1920s while the original was a small structure marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). John Carson occupied Corrard at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The buildings were valued at £10. The Carson family were still resident at the beginning of the 20th century.
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.
