Woodhill B [Wood House](Banagh) At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, a second house, valued at £10 10s, in Woodhill townland was leased from the Tredennick estate by Blakeney Gubbins. In 1858 Blakeney Gubbins was noted in the local press as “late sub Inspector of Revenue Police”. This may refer to a property originally built by Tredennick as a female primary school and later still known as Wood House. It is still extant.
Bruckless Andrew Cassidy was leasing Bruckless from the Tredennick estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £18. The complex also included a tannery.

The house is still extant and occupied.

In 1906 William Montgomery Sinclair was the owner of a mansion house valued at £28 at Bonnyglen. It is no longer extant and modern houses occupy the site. In 1837 Lewis had recorded Murray Babbington as the occupier of Bonnyglen. Documents included in the Chief Secretary Office papers at the National Archives of Ireland indicate Murray Babington acted as land agent for Alexander Murray.
