Alderford	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Alderford was leased by the representatives of William F. McDermottroe to Catherine Thompson and was valued at £25. In 1814 it was the seat of Thomas McDermottroe. Lewis also records it as the seat of the latter in 1837. Alderford is famous for its associations with Turlough O'Carolan, the Irish harper, as he died there in 1738 and is buried nearby in Kilronan. This house, however, was built in the early 19th century. It was the seat of Thomas Charles McDermottroe in 1894. It is still extant but in a dilapidated condition.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house had been valued at £70 and was occupied by Edward King Tenison. In 1814 it was the seat of Thomas Tennison and is recorded by Lewis as the seat of Col. Tenison. In 1894 Slater referred to it as a residence of the Earl of Kingston. The building is still extant and in 2006-7 was converted into a luxury hotel.

The 4th and 5th Baronets, both named Charles, lived there and it was one of the houses O'Carolan visited and for whom he composed tunes.

Holly Park (Leitrim)	In 1786 Wilson refers to a house close to Leitrim village as the seat of William Houghton. He may be referring to the house named on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as Holly Park. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Francis La Touche was leasing this property, valued at £4, at Tullylannan, to Edgar Macklin. Extensive redevelopment has taken place in this area
