House name	Description
Glenboy	There were two houses at Glenboy townland, one at least of which was part of the Clements estate but appears to have been leased for long periods to the Algeo family. John Marcus Clements, MP for Leitim, is described as "of Glenboy". He was nephew of Robert Clements, 1st Earl of Leitrim. A house at Glenboy was the residence of John Algeo in 1814. Glenboy is described as a seat of the Algeo family by Lewis in 1837 while Hollymount is the residence of the Armstrong family. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Lewis Algeo was leasing house at Glenboy, valued at £25, to Simon Armstrong while he was also leasing a house from the Clements estate valued at £12. Houses are still extant at these locations.

It was subsequently a holiday home of Edward Harland of Harland & Wolf shipyards in Belfast. The 1943 Irish Tourist Association survey recorded that only the gutted ruins of the house remained.The area has been extensively afforested since then and is now part of a forest park owned by Coillte.

Corrard	Located on the Parker estate the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that there have been three houses built on this site, the present house dates from the 1920s while the original was a small structure marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). John Carson occupied Corrard at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. The buildings were valued at £10. The Carson family were still resident at the beginning of the 20th century.
Tuam House	Located on the Saunders estate, outside the village of Blacklion, the present house replaced a former building marked on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). The Hassards lived at Tuam in the 18th century. Griffith’s Valuation records Hugh Bracken as the occupier, when the building was valued at £5. Hugh married Elizabeth Copeland and died in 1861. In 1876, James Bracken of Tuam House owned 51 acres county Cavan and 1,268 acres in county Fermanagh. Members of the Bracken family were resident at Tuam throughout the 20th century. The name of this house is sometimes spelt Toam. It is well maintained and occupied.
Tircahan Lodge	Francis Hassard of Tircahan Lodge, also known as Rockwood, is recorded in a sale rental of the Encumbered Estates Court in 1852. He sold part of his estate to Robert Hutton. In the mid-19th century Tircahan Lodge, a building named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837), was occupied by Henry Breen, who held the house, valued at £8, from Robert Hutton. It is located south of Swanlinbar. In the 1890s the original lodge was replaced by a larger more compact building which still stands today although now derelict. Robert Hutton JP lived here with his family in the early 20th century. In 1906, Georgina Hutton was recorded as the occupier when the 'mansion' house was valued at £17 for rates.
