House name	Description
Oldcastle	Built by the McJordans of Ballylahan in the late 18th century. Slater refers to it as the seat of John Bolingbroke in 1846. There are modern buildings at the site now.
Dove Hall	This house is labelled Dove Hall on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A larger house, named Belgarrow House, is shown at the site on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. It was occupied by Courtney Strogen and his descendants during the 19th century, held on lease from the Evans family. Occupied by John A. Knox in 1906. Belgarrow is now a ruin.
Moorbrook	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Moore-field" as the seat of Mr. Moore. Leet's Directory records 'Moorfield' as an 'unoccupied seat' in 1814. The house appears, however, to have become known as Moorbrook as it is thus labelled on the Ordnance Survey maps. Henry Wills held Moorbrook at the time of the sale in 1854. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it is described as a "herd's house" and occupied by Francis O'Grady. It is labelled as "in ruins" on the 25-inch Ordnance survey map of the 1890s. A modern house has been constructed near the site.
Cloongee	Originally a Moore home which was sold by Harloe Phibbs Baker to the McDermotts who lived there until the 20th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Owen McDermott and valued at £7. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes Cloongee as a rare survivor of a late-seventeenth century house in county Mayo. It is still extant and occupied.
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.
Sallymount	Home of Lewis Atkinson in the early 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased by Edward Atkinson from the Wingfield estate when it was valued at £4. The site is now occupied by farm buildings.
Ballylahan	A property held by Pat McLaughlin from Sir William H Palmer in the early 19th century and by the Atkinsons at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Quinn writes that it was repossessed at the time of the expiration of their lease. It was a ruin by the publication of the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Beaufield House	"Bowfield" House was occupied by E. Howley in the 1830s. On both the 1st and 25-inch editions of the Ordnance Survey maps the house is labelled Beaufield House. No house of more that £1 valuation was recorded in the townland of Carrowcastle at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is no longer extant.
Ellaghmore	Occupied by Edmund Howley in 1814 and by E. Howley in the 1830s. A house valued at £2.10 shillings was occupied by Bartholomew Higgins at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is no longer extant.
Mount Falcon	A lodge and offices were built in 1826. In 1876 the building of Mount Falcon Castle was completed. Bought by the Aldridges in 1932 the Castle was run as a country guest house in the latter part of the 20th century. Following the death of Mrs Aldridge in 2003 the property was bought by the Maloney brothers and is now run as a luxury hotel. See www.mountfalcon.com
Carns Lodge	In 1906 Lord Harlech's estate was the owner of buildings valued at £18 at Carns, parish of Kilmacteige. . McTernan notes the house as Carns Lodge, which he says was built in the late 1850s as a gamekeeper's house. It is still extant and occupied.
Coolcronaun	Coolcronan House was built by Edmond Pery at the time of his marriage to Sarah Jane Knox Gore in the mid-nineteenth century. The family owned the property until the 1950s. The Irish Tourist Association File states that it was erected in 1860 by the Knox Gores. It was extensively renovated in the late 1990s and is still extant and available as holiday accommodation.

Creggagh	The house valued at £6 was held by John Fair at the time of Griffith's Valuation but was unoccupied. In 1894 Slater noted it as the seat of Major D.R. Fair. It was occupied in the early decades of the twentieth century but is now a ruin surrounded by forestry.
Carns (Kilmacteige)	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Henry McCarrick was leasing a property valued at £14 in the village of Aclare (Carns townland), from the estate of William Evans. A shooting lodge is marked in this townland on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.

Tops (Raphoe)	John Wilson was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £18. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the current house was built c.1852 possibly on the site of an earlier house.
