At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Barton held Grove in fee and it was valued at £69. Grove remained in the possession of the Barton family until the mid 20th century when it passed to the Ponsonby family. This house is still extant and occupied.

An old manor house, also in ruins, is shown as well. The Ordnance Survey Name Books, in 1840, describe the site as "two large houses, one having its eastern end and the other, its eastern side, joining the ruins of the Old Manor House". At the time of Griffiths' Valuation, the townland was in the possession of the Hackett estate and the houses are described as "in ruins". The ruins are not shown on the later 25-inch map of the 1890s.
