House name	Description
Oatlands House	The residence of the O'Dowds of Bunnyconnellan until the sale of their estate in 1854 when it was bought by Charles Downing and leased to Henry McLoghry. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Downing held it in fee when it was valued at £10. It is labelled Bunnyconnellan Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but as Oatlands House on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. This is the name by which it is still known. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to Oaklands House owned by Mr McAndrew in which some of the old O'Dowd house was probably incorporated. The house has been restored and in 2015 was offered for sale.
Glencarha	The Ordnance Survey Names Books record that the house was 'a new edifice not yet finished', the intended residence of George Fenton, an attorney of Kilglass, near Ballina, who was leasing the townland. The house was occupied by Isaac McLoghry at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Cottlestown	The Kirkwood estate was centred on Cottlestown House. The name seems to have sometimes been known as Castletown and this is how it appears on the First ed. OS sheet but documentary evidence would seem to suggest the estate was also known as Cottlestown. The Buildings of Ireland survey states that it is likely that the present house was added to an earlier, probably eighteenth century structure, which in turn replaced the fortified house on the site. On modern OS sheets the townland is known as Cottlestown. This property later became part of the Boyd estate.
Moyview	Moyview was part of the Wingfield estate but was let to other families at different times. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was being leased by Robert Warren and was valued at £12. There is still an occupied house at this site though McTernan notes that the original house was an eighteent-century single story thatched residence.
Knockroe	Knockroe house was part of the Wingfield estate and at the time of Griffith's Valuation was valued at £12. The property is now part of a farm. The remains of the entrance gates are supported by an iron bedpost!
Scurmore	In 1786 Wilson writes that Scurmore House was the seat of Mr. Nisbett. Later, in the nineteenth century it became a seat of the Wingfields. In the 1830s it is described as undergoing repairs but the family were again occupying it by 1857. The house is recorded as the property of S.L. Lewis in 1906 when it was valued at £37. McTernan states that the house was demolished in the mid twentieth century. A later house now exists at the site but the original outbuildings are still intact.
Mullaghawny	Charles 'Sturgeon' (Strogen) was resident at Mullaghawny when Leet's Directory was compiled in 1814 and the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the dilapidated state of a mansion house in the townland of Mullaghawny belonging to Charles Strogen. Only a small portion of the buildings are visible on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.

Dr. McHugh of Ballina also had an interest in the property which he was renting to Rev. Thomas Feeney in 1857.
