House name	Description
Coolavin	McParlan described the Coolavin of 1802 as a "delightful retreat". The house at Clogher was offered for sale as part of the McDermott estate in 1852. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Joseph Holmes and was valued at £16. In 1906 Coolavin was valued at £35. The house now known as Coolavin was built in the 1890s replacing an earlier house near the same location. This latter house is still extant and occupied. The original house at Clogher is now derelict.
Castlemore	The main residence of the Costello family until the early 19th century. Occupied by the rector of the parish, Reverend Plunket, at the time of the first Ordnance Survey and by Thomas Strickland at the time of Griffith's Valuation, who held the property from Viscount Dillon. Only the farm buildings still remain which are now situated in county Roscommon.
Beechmount	Leased by John Cogan from Laurence Waldron at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £5. Beechmount is still extant and occupied.
Lung House	In 1786 Wilson refers to "Long" as the seat of Mr. Dillon. This appears to be Lung House, labelled as "in ruins" on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.
