| Doe Castle (KIlmacrenan) | Alexander Maddison was leasing Doe Castle from the Hart estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £21 15s. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of the Hart family but formerly in the possession of the Sandfords. The original tower house at the site, still extant, was the seat of the McSweeney clan in the medieval and early modern period. This site is now in the care of the Office of Public Works. |

| Marble Hill (KIlmacrenan) | In 1786 Wilson referred to Marble Hill as the seat of Mr. Babington. In 1814 Leet had noted a house at Marble Hill as the seat of Reverend Henry Usher. Lewis recorded it as the seat of G. Barclay in 1837. It was held in fee by the Stewart estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £20. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in the early 19th century by the Barclay family and offers a detailed outline of its history since. In 1906 it was owned by Hugh A. Law and valued at £52. Marble Hill is still extant and occupied. |

At the time of Griffiths Valuation this property was known as Rampart and was occupied by Thomas Ingram, leasing from the Stewart estate. On the later Ordnance Survey maps a much larger complex of buildings is labelled Ards Farm. The original buildings are no longer extant. | |
