House name	Description
Ballymoney (Burt)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Samuel Porter was leasing this property from Lord Templemore’s estate when it was valued at £11. It is labelled Ballymoney on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps but is no longer extant.
Bohullion	Several properties at this location were being leased from Lord Templemore’s estate by members of the Leathem family at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, in the 1850s. Samuel Leathem senor occupied a house which was valued at £14 10s. Samuel Leathem junior occupied a house and substantial mill and distillery complex. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage indicates that the house at the site is now called Beech Park and dates from c.1845. Elements of the industrial complex are also still extant.
Bridgetown (Burt)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, John Scott was leasing this property from Lord Templemore’s estate when it was valued at £23 with an additional mill complex. Bridgetown is still extant and occupied.
Burt House	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, James G. Bowen was leasing this property from Lord Templemore’s estate when it was valued at £28. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the house at the site represents a major remodelling of an earlier house and associates Burt House with the Ferguson family.
Gortinlieve	James Fulton was leasing this property from Robert Bateson at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1860s when it was valued at £14. An adjacent building is labelled Bogay Works on the 25-inch and later Ordnance Survey maps. It was apparently a site for the manufacture of agricultural implements. Farm buildings appear to occupy the site now.
Bogay House (Raphoe North)	Reverend Edward Bowen held this property in freehold at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £35. Local sources suggest it was a hunting lodge built by the Abercorn estate. It is still extant and occupied.
Colehill	Reverend Hugh Norman was leasing this property from the Earl of Wicklow's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £12. It is labelled Colehill on the 1st edition map of the 1830s but as Allsaints Rectory on subsequent Ordnance Survey maps. It is still extant.
Crossroads (Raphoe North)	William Lockhart was leasing this property from the Earl of Wicklow's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £10. It has the label Crossroads on the 25-inch and later 6-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the house at the site was built later in the 19th century but it appears likely that an earlier house existed there.
Castleforward	John Ferguson was leasing this property from the Earl of Wicklow's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £35. In 1837, Lewis had referred to it as the property of the Earl of Wicklow, then occupied by W. Marshall. Though it survived well into the 20th century, Castleforward is now a ruin.

Moyle Moss	Henry Thompson was leasing this property from John S. Law at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £11. Labelled Moyle Moss on all editions of Ordnance Survey. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the house at the site now is not the original but outbuildings date from the mid 19th century.

The lease also included two flaxmills. This property is labelled Castle on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps.

Mason Lodge (Raphoe)	William McCormack was leasing this property from John S. Law at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £10.
