House name	Description
Lareen	Lareen House was built in the 1820s by Luke White who died in 1854 and is buried in the old cemetery in Kinlough, the only member of the White family to be buried in the locality. Lareen then passed to the Massy family of county Limerick (Baron Massy of Duntrileague). In 1906 it, together with about 1200 acres of untenanted land in the area, was the property of Lord Massy. The house was valued at £23 at the time. Lareen was sold in the early 20th century to Maxwell Blacker Douglass who also bought fishing rights on both banks of the Drowes river and Bundrowes House. Lareen House burnt down in 1933. The Irish Tourist Association survey of 1943 mentions that it was in a ruined condition due to this fire.
Portnason	Portnason was owned by the representatives of Christopher Allingham at the time of Griffith’s Valuation but was unoccupied. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in the early 19th century and may have replaced an earlier house, also associated with the Allingham family. It is still extant.
Stonewold	Edward Allingham was leasing a property at Ballyhanna from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £20. It is labelled on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps as Stone Wold. It was later associated with the Crawford family. Stone Wold was one of a number of properties demolished in the mid-1940s when several townlands were inundated as part of the Erne Hydro-Electric scheme.
Willybrook	Edward Allingham was leasing this property from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £20. The Allingham family owned several properties in this area of Ballyshannon throughout the 19th century. The site appears to be derelict now.
Laputa	Laputa was occupied by Robert Johnstone at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when he was leasing it from the Conolly estate. It was then valued at £30. In 1837 Lewis had recorded it as the seat of J.F. Johnstone. It was one of a number of properties demolished in the mid-1940s when several townlands were inundated as part of the Erne Hydro-Electric scheme.
Cherrymount (Ballyshannon)	Cherrymount was leased from Forbes Johnston’s estate by Hugh Tuthill at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £16. Lewis recorded it as the seat of Dr. Crawford in 1837. In 1867 Forbes Johnston offered 160 acres of Cherrymount for sale in the Landed Estates Court. The sale notice stated that Hugh Tuthill's lease began in 1854, for 21 years. The property is labelled Cherrymount on the 1st and 25-inch Ordnance Survey maps. It was submerged under the waters of Assaroe Lake in the 1940s as part of the Erne Hydro Electric Scheme
Camlin Castle	Camlin was held in fee by John A. Tredennick at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £65. It is largely demolished owning to the expectation, unfounded as it turned out, that the site would be flooded by the Erne Hydro Electric scheme in the 1940s.
Fort William (Ballyshannon)	William Tredennick was occupying this property at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £28. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it remained in the ownership of the Tredennick family until the 1920s. It is still extant and occupied
Mullans House	Robert Reynolds was leasing this property from John A. Tredennick at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £20. It remained extant and occupied until the mid-1940s when it was demolished in advance of the Erne Hydro Electric scheme.
Rowantreehill (Kilbarron)	John Faucett was leasing this property to Francis Faucett at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £13. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the earliest part of the house may date from the mid-18th century and that it was associated with both the Faucett/Fawcett and Tredennick families in the 19th century
Willybrook	Edward Allingham was leasing this property from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £20. The Allingham family owned several properties in this area of Ballyshannon throughout the 19th century. The site appears to be derelict now.
Stonewold	Edward Allingham was leasing a property at Ballyhanna from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £20. It is labelled on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps as Stone Wold. This house was recorded as the address of Johnston Teevan, solicitor, at the time of his death in 1872. It was one of a number of properties demolished in the mid-1940s when several townlands were inundated as part of the Erne Hydro-Electric scheme.
Laputa	Laputa was occupied by Robert Johnstone at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when he was leasing it from the Conolly estate. It was then valued at £30. It was one of a number of properties demolished in the mid-1940s when several townlands were inundated as part of the Erne Hydro-Electric scheme.
Templenew House	James Thornly was leasing this property from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £16. It is still extant.
Rockfield House (Tirhugh)	Patrick Brady was leasing this property from the Conolly estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £13. It is labelled as Rockfield House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century. It is still extant.
Wardtown	In 1837 Lewis recorded "Wardton" as a residence of J. ffolliott. At the time of Griffiths Valuation it was leased from the ffolliott estate by Henry Likely and valued at £20. The National Inventory of Architectural Heriage suggests the house was built c.1739-1740 but has been out of use since 1916 and is now a ruin.
Rockville (Ballyshannon)	At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, this property was being leased to Mary O'Neill by Edward Jones. Local sources suggest, however, that it was a residence of the ffolliott family and burned in the 1920s.
