House name	Description
Woodhill House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Lewis Jones was leasing Woodhill house, valued at £25, at Knockaculleen, barony of Tireragh, from Anne Jones. When the property was offered for sale in the Landed Estates Court in May 1875 the house is described as " a handsome modern residence valued at £30". The Wingfield King estate sold their interest in the property in 1879 and the sale notice mentions Thaddeus Tiernan as occupying the house at that time. In 1906 a house here valued at £20 was the property of Thaddeus Tiernan. McTernan states that this gentleman had amassed a fortune in Australia and South America. He became involved in public life, including Board of Guardians and County Council, on taking up residence at Woodhill. The house is still owned by his descendents.
Farrenmacfarrell	James Ormsby was occupying this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6. McTernan states that the house was built by Thomas Ormsby at the end of the eighteenth century. In 1906, the house at Farranmacfarrell was owned by Alexander Cuffe and was valued at £7. The house is still extant but appears to be unoccupied.
Charlesfort House	Charlesfort House was the home of Rev. William Grove in 1836. It was also occupied by him at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £13.
Seaview or Doonecoy	The Hillas family seem to have occupied the house at Carrowmacrory since the eighteenth century as McTernan notes that it was built by Robert Hillas who was High Sheriff of Sligo in 1772. Mrs. Esther Hillas was occupying the house, valued at £25, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1906 it was the property of Robert G. Hillas and was valued at £23. The house was eventually sold in 1955 to the O'Beirne family by whom it is still owned.
Belville (Kilmacshalgan)	According to McTernan, Belville was built by Peter Rutledge on the occasion of his marriage to Catherine Ormsby in 1808. The house was occupied in the 1830s by James Rutledge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Margaret Ormsby Ruttledge, leasing from the Cooper estate and was valued at almost £4. By 1876 it was the seat of Robert McMunn who owned 582 acres in county Sligo. It was partly demolished in the twentieth century.
Ballygreighen	In 1906 Henry E. King owned over 350 acres of untenanted land and buildings valued at £10, at Ballygreighen, barony of Tireragh. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Andrew Finnegan was leasing a property valued at £8 from the King estate at Ballygreighen. The original buildings is no longer extant.
Knockaculleen A	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Rutledge was leasing a house valued at almost £10 at Knockaculleen, barony of Tireragh, to Catherine Rutledge. [Grid reference is approximate].
Fort Laurel	Patrick and Hugh Maguire were leasing over 60 acres from the Palmer estate at Ardogelly at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Fort Laurel House was later built at this property. It was renovated in the late twentieth century and is now a family home.
