    Hidden Treasure 20.6.'38
    There is treasure supposed to be hidden in an orchard in Ballinaguile which is situated about two miles west of Kilfinny school.
    Several attempts have been made to unearth it. It was once tried by a man named Sheehy and others. After they had been digging for some time a fierce bull came rushing at them. They ran away in fright and so the treasure is still there. It is supposed to consist of crocks of gold and silver.
