House name	Description
Drumbeg House (Inver)	A house named Drumbeg or Cloverhill is shown in the townland of the same name on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, it leased by William Sinclair from the Conyngham estate and valued at £21 15s. Drumbeg House is still extant.
Spamount (Killaghtee)	Sarah Stephens was leasing this property from Reverend Samuel Montgomery’s estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The house was valued at £12. Lewis recorded it as the seat of M. Steevens in 1837. In 1911 the house was owned by Francis P. Henry. It is labelled Spamount on all Ordnance Survey maps. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Belville (Banagh)	John Bustard held this property in fee at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £13. It continued to be associated with the Bustard family throughout the nineteenth century. Though a building is shown at the site on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map it has been substantially expanded by the publication of the 25-inch edition map and is labelled Belville. In 1906 the property here owned by George Bustard was valued at £13. It is still extant.
Old Eden House	Old Eden House appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map though is not labelled. It was leased by Galbrait Hamilton from the Conyngham estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £8. The 25-inch map shows both Old Eden House (at that location) and Eden House, a short distance away. Some buildings at Old Eden House are in use as tourist accommodation.
Eden House	Eden House was built later in the nineteenth century. In the 1870s it was recorded as the residence of Galbraith Hamilton. A will and probate grant in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland refers to George Hamilton of Eden in 1862. It is still extant and occupied.
Fintragh	Anne Hamilton was occupying the house at Fintragh at the time of Griffith’s Valuation when it was valued at £16. A newer house was constructed at Fintragh in the later 19th century[G689766]. It was burned in 1923, though reconstructed before being demolished in the later 20th century. The stableblock, built on the site of the original Fintragh House, is still extant, and has operated as a restaurant.
Carricknagore	William Barrett was occupying Carricknagore at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. It held in fee and valued at over £13. It was occupied by his descendants into the early 20th century. A building still exists at the site.
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. In 1837 Lewis had referred to Cassidy's having a seat in Bruckless though he also notes a house there owned by Captain Nesbit. Bruckless was still occupied by the Cassidy family in 1911. The house is still extant and occupied.
Bruckless Cottage	At the time of Griffith’s Valuation Bruckless Cottage was occupied by Lindsay Barrett, leasing from the Tredennick estate, when the house was valued at £15. It is labelled Bruckless Cottage on all editions of the Ordnance Survey maps. It is no longer extant.
Bonnyglen	The Sinclair estate held two properties in fee in this townland at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. A house valued at £8 was unoccupied while a caretaker’s house was valued at almost £5. 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.
