House name	Description
Heathfield	Rev. William Bourke was leasing Heathfield from the Palmer estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £16. Slater notes Heathfield House as the seat of Major W.H. 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.
Ballykinlettragh	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Henry "Faucett" had much of this townland leased from the Binghams of Bingham's Castle, barony of Erris. A building labelled Ballykinletteragh House appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but has disappeared by the publication of the 25-inch edition in the 1890s.
Ballinglen Cottage	Leased from the Knoxes of Castlereagh, barony of Tirawley. At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Fawcett occupied property in this townland including a house valued at £12 and a mill. Occupied by Susan Pringle in 1906. Ballinglen Cottage is now in ruins.
Killeena House	Leased from the Knoxes of Castlereagh by Duke Ormsby at the time of the first Ordnance Survey and Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £4. Buildings are still extant at the site. Duke Ormsby was closely related to the Rinagry family of Ormsby.
