  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Gold is supposed to be buried between two ridges in Garnalina, about one mile from the village of Galbally. The treasure hidden there is said to be worth millions of pounds.
    Vessels and a golden door are supposed to be hidden in Mr. Casey's land in Lizard.
    Excavations were carried out there by men from the National Museum. They found only a piece of an urn and this is now preserved in the National Museum.
    There is a treasure hidden in a moat belonging to Mr. Finnan in the townland of Lisard. This moat is a very historic place as it was the residence of kings. The treasure consists of valuable vessels.
