Mysterious cluster of deaths at the Ciseach (late 1840s)

On our Clare Past Forum Paddy Casey is seeking help in relation to the mysterious death of a village in Ruan parish in the 19th Century. He wonders:
what was the disease that wiped out the inhabitants?
when did the 40 families die (year? season?)
were the names of any surviving families documented?
were any quarantine measures applied to the area?
