    Share Share Post
    There is a hidden treasure to be found in a field of Neil McGuinnes in the townland of Oram about four hundred yards from the school on the side of the road. It is said that this treasure is hidden in a cave and that this cave is connected with another cave near Duhorn.
    The people say that it was hidden there in the time of the Danes. Other people say it was hidden by the Tuatha De Dannans when they were conqured by the Millesians
