    “There is gold hidden in the slope of a hill in Knockaderry, but it is not known rightly in what hill.”

    There is gold hidden in the slope of a hill in Knockaderry, but it is not known rightly in what hill. It is said that a robber stole it from somewhere and hid it on the slope. When he stole it the Authorities were after him trying to catch him. At last they caught him and sent him to Cork Prison, where after some time he was sentenced to death. As he was dying he said he buried the gold in Knockaderry on the slope of a hill in, but he did not live to finish his sentence
