   1 In Tybroughney there is a crock of gold hidden in the banks of the river. A local man from that village went to dig it up. He dug and dug, he was almost to his waist in mud. When he was digging he heard the rumbling of chains. He fled and he never went near that place again.

   Its a story has been told about gold been hidden some-where around Besborough demesne. It was said that several went to dig in the night. They were not long digging when a man with a long coat came along. They got such a fright that they ran with their life. The money is there but no body would dare to venture near it again.
