House name	Description
Druminshin Glebe	Rev. James Agar held this property at Druminshin Glebe freehold at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £30. The property seems to have been known as Carrigallen Glebe or Carrigallen Lodge at various times though it is recorded as Druminshin Glebe house on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. It is still extant and occupied.
Kilbracken	William Murray Hickson was leasing the house at Kilbracken, barony of Carrigallen, from Elizabeth Armstrong at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £20. In 1814 a house at Kilbracken was recorded as the residence of Mr. Armstrong but it has been estimated that the present Kilbracken House was built around 1825. It is not named on the first edition Ordnance Survey map though there are buildings marked on the site. A poster in Leitrim County Library indicates that it was the property of Thomas S.Jones in 1905 when it was offered for sale. The house is still extant and undergoing restoration.
Killygar	It is estimated by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage that Killygar was built in 1813. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Killygar House was occupied by John Godley and was valued at £43. It was also the residence of John Godley in 1814 and in 1837. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the seat of Archibald Godley. It is still extant and occupied by the Godley family.
Cloghlough	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William O'Brien was leasing a property valued at £8 at Cloghlough, barony of Carrigallen, from the estate of John King, which was in Chancery. Substantial farm buildings exist at this site.
Drumsillagh	Acheson O'Brien was leasing the property at Drumsillagh, barony of Carrigallen, from the King estate (in chancery) at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £15. Lewis also records it as a seat of the O'Brien family in 1837. In 1906 Drumsillagh was owned by the representatives of William A. O'Brien and was also valued at £15. There appears to be still a house at this site.
Clooncorick Castle	Formerly an O'Rourke castle, Clooncorrick was held by several other families, notably the Irwins, before being bought by Pierce Simpson in 1835. In 1814 it is recorded as the residence of Rev. Agar. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was being leased by Pierce Simpson from the Ormsby Gore estate and was valued at £40. Lewis also records it as the seat of the Simpson family in 1837. In the 1930s the castle was dismantled and the fittings sold. The ITA survey in the 1940s recorded that the castle had recently been demolished.
Riverview/Cloggy House	River View was situated on the bank of the River Erne. It was obviously associated with linen making in the early 19th century as beetling and bleaching mills are both marked near the house on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837). A corn mill is also shown nearby. The Faris family were resident in Cloggy from at least 1832 when Alexander Faris is mentioned in the Tithe Applotment Books. In the mid-19th century William Faris was resident holding the buildings valued at £15 from Cosby Thomas Nesbitt. Alexander Faris/Ferris, a farmer and his family were living in Cloggy at the beginning of the 20th century. This house has been modernised and still retains a fine range of outbuildings.

Drumgoon is located just east of Lahard. In the mid-19th century it was the residence of James Robinson, who held it from Robert Hutton when it had a rateable valuation of £6.10.0. This house is still extant.
Gartinadress House	In 1814, Charles Veaitch was the resident at Gortin-ardrass. This house is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837).

By the early 20th century the Armstrong family were occupying Gartinardress, although in 1906 William A. K. Young is recorded as occupier of 228 acres of untenanted land and the mansion house. This house is no longer extant and the site is part of a forestry area. A house known as Lakeville was also located in the townland of Gartinardress. Leases in the National Library record Lakeville as the home of Richard Young in the 1820s. It was described as ‘in ruins’ on the 25 inch map.

It is named on the first edition six inch Ordnance Survey map (publ. 1837) which shows a flower garden to the south of the house.

Situated close to Rockfield Lough it was a Berry home in the first half of the 19th century. Thomas Berry was resident in 1814 and in 1851 (Thom’s Directory). Rockfield was advertised for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in November 1851. A few years later Griffith’s Valuation records Robert O’Brien as the occupant of Rockfield holding it from Oliver Sproul. It was valued at £17. The house is still extant but no longer in use.
