    There is a stram called Ruppa stream. There was a cloud-burst near the source of the stream in Blessington. It over-flowed the stream which carried huge boulders with it and completely blocked its mouth and also the Cappa side of the Nore. The muddy water flowed to the far side of the river and flowed on that side until it reached Inistioge. The land is good and level.
