House name	Description
Carrowkeel	In the Ordnance Survey Name Books of the 1830s Carrowkeel House, the residence of Walter Bourke, is described as "in good repair". The house was valued at £6 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It is labelled Carrowkeel House on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 but is not shown on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s.
Wood Park	This was the earlier house on this estate, shown as Woodpark on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838. It was lived in by the Anderson family in the 1830s and 1840s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held in fee by Thomas Jones and valued at £6. A house diminished in size but still labelled Wood Park is shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s. This property does not appear to be extant now. [Charles Coyne also lived at Massbrook in the mid 19th century. See also under Massbrook]
Enniscoe House	The site of an old Bourke castle on the shore of Lough Conn, the house was built before 1786 as Wilson refers to Prospect as the seat of Mr. Jackson at that time. It was held in fee by Mervyn Pratt at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £50. It appears as Inishcoe House on both the 1st and 25-inch ediitons Ordnance Survey maps but is now known as Enniscoe House. The North Mayo Family History centre is based in adjacent buildings and the house offers guest acommodation.
Errew Grange	A Victorian Gothic house built circa 1870s. It was bought from Granville Knox by the Burkes of Ballina, solicitors. The Burkes leased it to the Order of Jesus and Mary before the Order moved to Gortnaraby in 1916. It became a hotel but burnt down in 1949 and was later restored.
Rinagry Cottage/Rinagry House	The residence of a junior branch of the Gortnaraby family, described at the time of the first Ordnance Survey as "a neat thatched cottage built in 1807". Rinagry was leased by Edward S. Perry from John Ormsby at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at more than £10. An enlarged building is labelled Rinagry House on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. It is no longer extant.
Castlehill	In 1786 Wilson refers to Castlehill as the seat of Mr. [Mc]Cormack. The Cormacks lived at Castlehill until the mid 1830s. A new house was built in the late 1830s for John Walsh, an attorney of Hume Street, Dublin. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fee by him and valued at £34. It was the residence of Edward Walsh in 1894. It is still extant.

Raphoe Bishop's Palace	William Ker was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when the buildings were valued at £45. The Bishop's Palace was destroyed by fire in 1838 and has remained a ruin ever since.
Drumineney	David Wilson was leasing this property from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £16.
