| Seaview House (Kilmacrenan) | At the time of Griffith’s Valuation, Reverend Samuel O’Neill Cox was leasing this property from the Hill estate, when it was valued at almost £10. The map accompanying the valuation names it as Scarnamallagh Glebe House but it is labelled Seaview House on the 25-inch map of the early 20th century. Buildings are still extant at the site. | |
| Heath Cottage (Kilmacrenan) | William Robinson was leasing this property from the Hill estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £5.

Ballyconnell is still extant. It served as a school during the 20th century. Local sources suggest it was later purchased by Udaras na Gaeltachta. |

| Carrowcanon House | Thomas Olpherts was occupying the property at Carrowcanon at the time of Griffiths Valuation when it was valued at £15. Lewis had recorded it as the seat of T. Olpherts in 1837. This property seems to have developed at what was the site of a formal garden in Carrowcanon townland as shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of the 1830s. Buildings still exist at the site | |
| Glenveagh Castle | Glenveagh Castle was built c.1867 by John George Adair. The townland of Gartan Mountain, in which the castle is located, was the property of Samuel Marshall at the time of Griffiths Valuation. Following Adair's death in 1885 his wife Cornelia continued to maintain the castle until the early twentieth century. In 1929 it was purchased by Arthur Kingsley Porter, a Yale professor of art who mysteriously disappeared in 1933. It was later owned by Henry McIlhenny of Philadelphia who sold the estate to the Office of Public Works in 1975. It now forms part of Glenveagh National Park. |

| Lough Veagh House (Belleville) | At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, this house was held in fee by John Stewart, when it was valued at £27. Documents in Donegal County Archives indicate it was conveyed to Stewart by Daniel and Elizabeth Chambers in 1845. In 1837 Lewis had referred to "Gartan" as the seat of Captain Chambers. By 1906 it was owned by Edward D. Hewetson and still valued at £27. The house is no longer extant and the site is now occupied by Gartan Outdoor Centre. |
