Glenboy	There were two houses at Glenboy townland, one at least of which was part of the Clements estate but appears to have been leased for long periods to the Algeo family. John Marcus Clements, MP for Leitim, is described as "of Glenboy". He was nephew of Robert Clements, 1st Earl of Leitrim. A house at Glenboy was the residence of John Algeo in 1814. Glenboy is described as a seat of the Algeo family by Lewis in 1837 while Hollymount is the residence of the Armstrong family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lewis Algeo was leasing house at Glenboy, valued at £25, to Simon Armstrong while he was also leasing a house from the Clements estate valued at £12. Houses are still extant at these locations.
Skreeny	Skreeny seems to have been built during the 1690s. It is recorded as a seat of the Cullen family by both Taylor and Skinner and Wilson in the 1780s. During the Famine period it was used as a temporary fever hospital. The townland was in the possession of the Earl of Leitrim by the time of Griffith's Valuation where the only buildings recorded area a gate house and offices, valued at £1 10s. Skreeny House is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. The Irish Tourist Association survey of the 1940s recorded that it was "the ruins of one of the principal gentry seats in the area".

Slater notes that it was the residence of Captain Edward T. Pottinger in 1894. In 1906 Charles B. Whyte was the owner of the house at Carrickfad valued at £22. It is no longer extant.
Larkfield	In 1786 Wilson refers to Larkfield as the seat of Mr. Donnell. Larkfield is described as a very plain house but nevertheless its construction is alleged to have caused financial embarrassment for the O'Donnell estate. It was valued at £15 at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was occupied by John O'Donnell. After the purchase of the estate by the Land Commission in the 1930s the house was demolished and another house has been constructed on the site.
