The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates its building to the mid -1840s, contemporary with the massive reclamation of land from the sea which took place in the area at that time. Blanket Nook is still extant.

Samuel Leathem senor occupied a house which was valued at £14 10s. Samuel Leathem junior occupied a house and substantial mill and distillery complex.

In 1837 Lewis referred to it as the seat of T. Kough. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests this house was built in the 18th century and extended in the 19th. It appears to be associated with a number of different families.

Lewis referred to it as the seat of Miss Schoales in 1837. It is labelled Roseville on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as St. Johns on the later editions.

The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage includes a detailed account of the now-derelict mill complex and notes its association with the Swan family in the latter decades of the 19th century.
St. Helens [Townsend Lodge]	James H. Todd was the occupier of this property at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £17 10s. He was leasing it from a Kennedy lessor. The house is labelled as Townsend Lodge on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as St. Helens on the 25-inch edition of the early 20th century. In 1837 Lewis had recorded this property as the seat of a Colonel Downing. Now used as a business premises.
Westbrook (Inishowen)	James Todd was leasing this property to a Captain Considine at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £10. A house named “Westport” is given as his own address in Hussey de Burgh’s list of landowners in 1878. Westbrook House is still extant.
Buncrana Castle	In 1837 Lewis noted Buncrana Castle as the seat of Mrs. Todd. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, in 1857, it held in fee by Jonathan Richardson and valued at £20. Richardson was also the occupier of a spinning factory in the area, valued at £120. Local sources suggest that it was built by the Vaughan family and that the Todds bought it through the Court of Chancery in the early 19th century. By 1906 it was owned by Alexander R. Richardson and still valued at £20. Buncrana Castle is still extant.
Castruse House	William Cochrane was leasing this property from Robert Bateson at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1860s when it was valued at £12. It is labelled Castruse Huose on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century. In the 1870s John Motherwell's address is given as Castruse. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built in the last years of the 18th century on the site of an earlier house. It is still extant and occupied.
Gortinlieve	James Fulton was leasing this property from Robert Bateson at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1860s when it was valued at £14. An adjacent building is labelled Bogay Works on the 25-inch and later Ordnance Survey maps. It was apparently a site for the manufacture of agricultural implements. Farm buildings appear to occupy the site now.

It has the label Crossroads on the 25-inch and later 6-inch edition Ordnance Survey maps. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the house at the site was built later in the 19th century but it appears likely that an earlier house existed there.
Castleforward	John Ferguson was leasing this property from the Earl of Wicklow's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation in the 1850s when it was valued at £35. In 1837, Lewis had referred to it as the property of the Earl of Wicklow, then occupied by W. Marshall. Though it survived well into the 20th century, Castleforward is now a ruin.
