| Doe Castle (KIlmacrenan) | Alexander Maddison was leasing Doe Castle from the Hart estate at the time of Griffith’s Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £21 15s. In 1837 Lewis recorded it as the seat of the Hart family but formerly in the possession of the Sandfords. The original tower house at the site, still extant, was the seat of the McSweeney clan in the medieval and early modern period. This site is now in the care of the Office of Public Works. |

| Ards | Wilson referred to Ards as the seat of Mr. Wray in 1786. Lewis recorded Ards as the seat of A. Stewart in 1837. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation it was occupied by Alexander Stewart when the buildings were valued at £100. In 1906 Ena D. Stewart was the owner when the house was valued at £90. Local sources suggest Ards remained in the Stewart family until 1927 when it was taken over by the Irish Land Commission. The house was later acquired by the Capuchin Order. A serious fire in the 1940s led to the demolition of the old house and a new friary was built some distance away. The demesne is now known as Ards Forest Park and is in the care of Coillte, the Irish forestry service. | |
| Rampart [Ards Farm] (Kilmacrenan) | In 1906 Eva D. Stewart was the owner of buildings valued at £48 in the townland of Clonmore, parish of Clondahorky, County Donegal. At the time of Griffiths Valuation this property was known as Rampart and was occupied by Thomas Ingram, leasing from the Stewart estate. On the later Ordnance Survey maps a much larger complex of buildings is labelled Ards Farm. The original buildings are no longer extant. |
