House name Description
Oakpark (Kilmacrenan) In the 1850s William Wray was occupying Oakpark when it was valued at £21. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage suggests it was built at the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th centuries. It may have been built by the Wray family after they left Castle Wray. Oakpark is still extant and occupied. Photo of Oakpark (Kilmacrenan)

Rockhill House (Raphoe North) At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, Rockhill was held in fee by John Vandeleur Stewart when it was valued at £55.

In 1814 Leet had recorded Daniel Chambers as the occupant of Rockhill. By 1906 it was owned by Alexander C.H. Stewart and valued at £52. Later in the 20th century it served as a base of the Irish Defence forces. It is now a luxury hotel. Photo of Rockhill House (Raphoe North)
