House name	Description
Derrycarne	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Derrycarne was the property of William Ormsby Gore and was valued at £30. Lewis records it as the seat of the Nisbett family in 1837. In 1906 it was in the possession of Lord Harlech (Ormsby Gore) and was valued at £33. The Ormsby Gore estate was eventually sold in 1924 and Derrycarne and about 80 acres were acquired by a Col. Kirkwood, a relative of the Kirkwood family of Woodbrook, county Roscommon. It changed hands again several times before being acquired by the Land Commission in 1952. The house was demolished shortly afterwards.
Aughry House	Aughry House built after the publication of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was owned and occupied by Charles T. Ward and was valued at £13. Aughry Castle (in ruins) is visible nearby on the 1st edition map. This may be the property referred to in 1786 by Wilson as the seat of Mr. Nesbit. Elaborate modern entrance gates identify Aughry House which appears to be close to the site of the original.
Aghamore House	Russell B. Cameron was leasing this property from the Crofton estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £12. A house is still extant though not on the original site.
Georgia	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the Forbes estate was leasing a house valued at £6 to Andrew McCloughesy at Georgia or Gorteenoran. The premises is visible on the early 20th century maps but the site is now occupied by a hotel complex.
Clooncoe House	Lewis records "Brooklawn" as a seat of the O'Brien family in 1837. Brooklawn House in the townland of Clooncoo, parish of Cloone, was part of the Clements estate but is described at the time of the first Ordnance Survey as the seat of a Mr. Crawford. It is labelled Brooklawn on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but as Clooncoe House on all subsequent editions. It is still extant and occupied.

Valued at £5 in the 1850s. In 1906 the buildings at Gillstown were valued at £8.10s and were occupied by the representatives of Thomas Cox.
Sallyfield	A Hanly home from at least 1749 but by the 1850s held by George Lawder in fee. It was described at this time as a steward's house with offices and a lodge, valued at £3. It is labelled on both the 1st and 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey Maps as Sallyfield. It is no longer extant. A house named Cottage was also in the townland of Lavagh at N005 895 on both maps.
Mount Dillon	Lewis writes that the house was situated on an isolated hill and formed "a conspicuous object in the surrounding scenery". Valued at £15 in the mid 19th century. Wilson, in 1786, refers to it as the seat of Mr. Dillon. In the possession of Samuel Russell in 1906 when the buildings were valued at £3. It is no longer extant.

At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Matthias McDonnell was leasing mill properties, valued at £67, from the estate of the Marquis of Sligo. In addition he was leasing a house valued at £4. Cloonagh Lodge is shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. A house is still extant at the site. .
Curraghroe	At the time of Griffith's Valuation this property was in use as a Constabulary Barracks, valued at £5 and leased from the estate of Theobald Dillon. Local sources suggest the police were withdrawn from the barracks in the late 1860s. In modern times it has become known as Sullivan's Cross. The house is still extant and occupied and in 2014 was offered for sale.
