  1. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It is said that some hidden treasure is supposed to be buried near Ballyragget many years ago but it was never found. Three men went to dig up the treasure but they did not succeed. A headless coach drove up to the men. One man stepped out and told them to go away and not to return under pain of death
