House name	Description
Cottlestown	The Kirkwood estate was centred on Cottlestown House. The name seems to have sometimes been known as Castletown and this is how it appears on the First ed. OS sheet but documentary evidence would seem to suggest the estate was also known as Cottlestown. The Buildings of Ireland survey states that it is likely that the present house was added to an earlier, probably eighteenth century structure, which in turn replaced the fortified house on the site. On modern OS sheets the townland is known as Cottlestown. This property later became part of the Boyd estate.
Moyview	Moyview was part of the Wingfield estate but was let to other families at different times. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Robert Warren and was valued at £12. There is still an occupied house at this site though McTernan notes that the original house was an eighteent-century single story thatched residence.
Knockroe	Knockroe house was part of the Wingfield estate and at the time of Griffith's Valuation was valued at £12. The property is now part of a farm. The remains of the entrance gates are supported by an iron bedpost!
Scurmore	In 1786 Wilson writes that Scurmore House was the seat of Mr. Nisbett. Later, in the nineteenth century it became a seat of the Wingfields. In the 1830s it is described as undergoing repairs but the family were again occupying it by 1857. The house is recorded as the property of S.L. Lewis in 1906 when it was valued at £37. McTernan states that the house was demolished in the mid twentieth century. A later house now exists at the site but the original outbuildings are still intact.
Kinard Lodge	The Ordnance Survey Name Books record Kinnard Lodge as the property of the Paget family in 1837. It appears that it, like other houses in the area, was used as a summer bathing lodge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by James Paget and was valued at £9. A second house in the townland was occupied by Henry Simpson, leasing from James Paget, and was valued at £6. Kinard Lodge is still extant and occupied.
Killala Castle	Formerly the residence of the Protestant Bishop of Killala and Achonry, it was occupied by Walter James Bourke and his wife, daughter of the Hon Frederick Cavendish founder of the ''Connaught Telegraph''.

Bourke in 1894. In 1927 the Bourkes moved to county Meath and the house was sold to the Brices, who owned it until 1932. Some ruins of the original house remain.
Crosspatrick	The Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the building of a house in 1832, the residence of James Knox who held the townland from Mary Boyd.

Thomas Jones sold his interest in the Landed Estates' Court in 1867.

Described in 1942 by the Irish Tourist Association surveyor as a large house near the church at Ballyglass, formerly owned by the Orme family and "purchased some years ago by Mr MacDonald, Kilfian.
