Greenhills	Greenhills was part of the estate of the Marquess of Sligo until the sale to William Livingstone in 1854 and was let to Joseph Bourke in the early 19th century. It was later occupied by Archibald Stavert who held it from William Livingstone at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It was owned by Matt Fahy in the late 1990s and is still extant.
Elmhall	Built by Gerald Cuff early in the 18th century, it was let to the Jordans of Murrisk in the 1770s and to a branch of the Browne family of Westport from the 1780s until the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as a seat of the Rt.Hon. James Cuffe. In 1837 the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map notes that it was 'in ruins'. The Irish Tourist Association File states that Elmhall is said to have been burnt in 1798. Only some fragments of walls remain at the site.
Castlecarra	Granted to Sir Henry Lynch after the Restoration, it was the family's main home in county Mayo for much of the 18th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to Castle Carra as the seat of Mr. Lynch. The mansion house and offices at Castlecarra were described in 1844 by Samuel Nicholson as "now almost ruins". Castlecarra was leased to the Brownes of Castlecarra at this time and was part of their property for sale in 1852. The ruins of the original tower house are still extant but much of the surroundings are now covered by forestry.

It is recorded as his seat in 1894. The Irish Tourist Association File states that the house was donated to the African Missionary Brothers by Colonel Blake and that a new wing was added in 1932. For sale in 2012.

Carnacon House	Home of the McDonnell family in the early 19th century and probably earlier as local sources suggest General James McDonnell, who fought in the 1798 Rebellion, was born there. In 1844 described by Samuel Nicholson as "neat and comfortable, prettily situated upon the lake and ornamented by thriving plantations". It was purchased by the Hughes family in the 1940s and is still in their possession.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was leased by Matthew Phibbs from Mark Blake and valued at £5. It is no longer extant.
Clogher	According to Bence Jones this house was built circa 1798 though Wilson refers to a house at Clogher as the seat of Patrick Lynch in 1786. In 1844 Samuel Nicholson described Clogher House as "amongst the largest and the best in the Country, and appears to be kept in excellent order". Patrick C. Lynch was leasing it from Sir Robert H. Blosse at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £40. It was in the ownership of the Fitzgerald Kenney family at the beginning of the 20th century and is now a ruin.

Fortlawn Cottage	William Mulrooney held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £5. It is labelled as Fortlawn Cottage on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps. A house is still extant at the site.
Hawthorn Lodge	Mulloy writes that in 1789 this house was leased by George O'Malley from the Ellison family and that the O'Malleys lived there until the late 19th century. It was generally known as 'Lodge'. The house was sold to the Carson family in 1905. Charles O'Malley and his son, St Clair O'Malley, were agents to the Earls of Lucan. This house appears to be named Tallyhoe, the residence of Cuffe esquire, on the Taylor and Skinner map. Hawthorn Lodge is still extant and has been occupied by descendants of George O'Malley since the 1990s.
Hazelrock Lodge	Valued at £5 at the time of Griffith's Valuation and held by the Honourable George Frederick Yelverton from Viscount Avonmore. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage contends that it was built in the early nineteenth century for Barry John Yelverton, third Viscount Avonmore. It is now a ruin.

Partry House	Bence-Jones describes the house, situated on the shore of Lough Carra, as Georgian with a Wyatt window above the porch. It is likely that it incorporates an earlier house built in the latter part of the 17th century. In 1786 Wilson mentions "Cloonlagheen" as the seat of Mr. Lynch. It was the seat of the Lynch/Blosse Lynch family for three centuries. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fee by Henry Lynch Blosse and valued at £14. Owned briefly by David Shaw Smith in the 1990s, now the home of Lorraine O'Donoghue.

By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held by John Sheridan from the Earl of Lucan's estate with a valuation of £3. It is not shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s and modern buildings exist in the area now.
Portroyal	In 1786 Wilson refers to Port Royal as the seat of Mr. Gildea. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland was in the possession of James and Anthony Knox Gildea and the house was valued at £2 10s. The house is not shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Rocklands	A house occupied by various agents to the Earls of Lucan, including Ellison, Davis and Larminie. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Ellison.

St Audries was leased to Owen Lindsey in 1769 and his family maintained an interest in the property and the farm at Drumsheen until the early 19th century. The Reverend Archdeacon Warburton was living in the house in 1814. By the time of the first Ordnance Survey the house was in ruins.
