House name	Description
Doobeg	At the time of Griffith's Valuation the property at Doobeg consisted of a herd's house, valued at over £1, together with over 300 acres, and was in the ownership of Robert McAlpine. In the later nineteenth century it was lived in by the Phibbs family. Doobeg house is still extant and occupied as a family home.
Cuilmore	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, James Powell was leasing a property valued at £7 with over 150 acres, from Lord de Freyne's estate, at Cuilmore, barony of Coolavin. The original house is not extant now.
Doocastle Cottage	In Griffith's Valuation Joseph M. McDonnell held Doocastle Cottage from John B. Lindsey [of Turin Castle, barony of Kilmaine] when it was valued at £10. It is now a ruin.
Kilturra	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Joseph Verscoyle was leasing a property valued at £6 together with over 300 acres to Bartholomew McGettrick, at Kilturra, barony of Corran. This later became the residence of John Ormsby Cooke. It was partially damaged by fire in 1920 and Cooke eventually abandoned the property which became derelict. It was demolished in the 1930s.
Kilfree	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Charles Costello was leasing a property valued at almost £7 together with 140 acres at Kilfree, barony of Coolavin, from the O'Farrell Caddell estate. Lewis records Kilfree as the seat of Edward Costello in 1837. Earlier, in 1802, McParlan mentioned "Mr. Costello of Gortin" as one of the principal residents of the area. McTernan states that the house and estate were eventually sold under the Land Acts. The ruins of the house are still visible.
Knockalass House	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Patrick Graham was leasing a house at Knockalass, barony of Corran, valued at £5 together with 75 acres from the Gore Booth estate. McTernan notes that the Grahams were initially tenants and later owners in fee.
Quarryfield	McTernan notes that Robert Howes of Bunninadden and Quarryfield married Jane Irwin of Mount Irwin in 1754. Subsequently the then house at Quarryfield alternated between Howes and Irwins. In the 1840s the property was purchased by Col.Perceval of Templehouse and later in the nineteenth century by the Coopers of Markree, by whom the present house was built in 1887. The house had a number of owners since and is still extant and occupied.
