- Long ago there came a wet year and the bog now known as 'Ahanagran bog' ran. There was a terrible flood one night and the bog broke in big junks and ran over the land knocking many houses in its way and also killing people. The flood brought the bog to the bridge in Ballylongford and stopped the water. Alot of people were employed in cutting away the bog with hay knives so as to make the water flow.
