According to O'Donovan's Field Name Books, Lisavruggy gets its name from the Ringfort, a bhrogaidh, meaning that it is the fort of the brooee, or farmer.
According to the OSI maps, a number of forts are arranged in a straight line from eastern Lissavruggy to Blainaloosh.
[1] These forts are bounded by the townlands of Cappough, Buggauns, Saint Brandans, Blainaloosh, Ballynacor French, and Cloonkeen Davies.
Reading about the act in local newspaper in 1885, Thomas Lohan thought it may be relevant to the case of Lissavrugy.
As he straightened up, he pulled something out of the ground, causing water to burst up and struck him in the face, restoring his sight.
There were no regular Catholic Churches in the parish during this period; masses were conducted in hollows, sandpits, and bogs.
Similar to the Credit Union, this was a non-profit organization that gave tenants access to funds when they were struggling.
