• Leicester House, Crumlin, is now demolished. Site is W side of Errigal Rd, just to W of Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin. Now a gymnasium / leisure centre. Nothing left but a few feet of the old stone wall at the side of the gymnasium.
• The stables were supposed to have survived, re-converted into houses, but can't see anything nearby today that looks like that.
