- About thirty years ago there was a bog in Lisavruggy and it was brought by water into Kilmore. It drowned houses and animals that was on the land. There was a widow drowned also. There was word sent to the guards about it and they came out searching for her. One of them found her dead in the water. They washed her and she was buried. The people were sent into new places. All the people were sent into a big house until the food was gone.
