| Drumboe Castle | A castle and manor existed at Drumboe since the early seventeenth century. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Drumboe was the seat of Sir Edmund Hayes, when it was valued at £60. It remained in the ownership of the Hayes family until the early twentieth century. In 1906 it was the property of Sir E.F. Hayes and valued at £33. It and the demesne were acquired by the Forestry service in the 1940s. The ruins of the estate buildings are still visible in the extensive woodlands and amenity areas at the site. |

| Woodlands (Raphoe South) | James Johnston was leasing this property from Samuel Calhoun, at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £40. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests the original buildings at the Woodlands site were constructed in the early years of the nineteenth century but modified later. They are now ruinous. |

Steevens and as having an observatory on the grounds. In 1906 it was recorded as part of the estate of the Marquis of Conyngham with a valuation of over £10.
