House name	Description
Parke's Castle	This castle was built by Capt. Roger Parke, incorporating an old O'Rourke castle, probably in the first or second decades of the 17th century. This property eventually came into the possession of the Gore family through the marriage of Anne Parke to Sir Francis Gore.
Friarstown	In 1856 William Leith was leasing Friarstown from John Johnston at which time it was valued at £20. In the 1870s it was the address of Thomas Robert Palmer who owned over 1600 acres in Leitrim at that time. In 1814 it was the residence of Andrew Johnston and Lewis also recorded it as a seat of that family in 1837. The original house is no longer extant but modern buildings exist at the site.
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".
Newtown Manor	A house built after the publication of the First Ordnance Survey map. John James Whyte held this property in fee at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when itwas valued at £12. 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.
Drumahaire Lodge	Dromahaire Lodge was part of the Lane-Fox estate and was usually the home of the agent. During the 19th century these included D. Stewart and Joshua Kell. To the rear site are the ruins of a seventeenth-century fortified house, built by Sir William Villiers and formerly the seat of the O'Rourke family.
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.
Belhavel	Belhavel was the home of Hugh Lyons Montgomery, built during the Famine. The family took up residence there in 1850. Slater refres to it as the seat of Hugh Lyons Montgomery in 1894. The Irish Tourist Association survey in the 1940s records that "every stone was taken away to build houses throughout the district". An earlier castle also in Belhavel is reputed to have been built by the first Montgomery to settle in the area in the seventeenth century.
Hollymount (Drumahaire)	Hollymount House is said to have been built around 1730. It was leased to Simon Armstrong by Lewis Algeo. Home of Thomas Corscadden in 1910. It is now a ruin but the outbuildings survive.
Sriff Cottage	Sriff Cottage was associated with the Palmer family and possibily originally used as a hunting lodge. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased from the Lane Fox estate by Henry Palmer and was valued at £4. This house is still extant and in 2015 was offered for sale.
Rockwood	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Hester Cullen was leasing a house valued at £10 at Deerpark, barony of Rosclogher to Thomas Davis, MD. A house still exists on the site of the original Rockwood House.
Fortland Cottage	Fortland Cottage was built on part of the Cullen estate in the 18th and was the home of Jane Cullen and her husband G. Gledstanes in the mid-nineteenth century.
Brookfield House	Arthur Loftus Tottenham was leasing a house valued at £14 to James Tate here in 1856.
Fortland House	John Massy was leasing a building valued at £8 to John Rutherford here in 1856. This is Fortland House which is still extant and occupied.
Drumlease Glebe	Rev. Wilby Wynne was occupying Drumlease Glebe, barony of Dromahaire, at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £20. McParlan includes John Carter and brothers of Drumlease on a list of "resident gentlemen of property" in 1802.
Glasdrumman More	William Palmer was the owner of a property valued over £7 at Glassdrumman More, barony of Rosclogher at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house is still extant and occupied.
Tawnahoney	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick Buchan, agent to the Creevlea Iron Works, was leasing buildings valued at £17 at Tawnahoney, barony of Dromahaire, from John Johnston. This property does not appear to be extant at the time of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map in the 1890s. In 1786 Wilson had noted a property in the nearby townland of Gortermone as a seat of Mr. Johnston. It is not shown on the Ordnance Survey maps.
