Its population at the time of the 1891 census was 65; in 1901 it was 54; and, in 1911, it was 44, of whom 28 were male and 16 female.[citation needed]

This townland is probably the Knockroe mentioned in references to a monster meeting held by Daniel O'Connell in September 1845, on which occasion he stayed in Turtulla House.[2]
