  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In a place called "The Teampul". Long ago when a Priest was saying Mass he was hunted by the soldiers and it is said he buried a Chalice where he was saying Mass in a cave. It is said it was a Silver Chalice. A light was seen in the Strand near the cave. I never heard of any one trying to find it.
    The person who told me this is:- Michael O'Brien.
    His age is about 65 years.
