  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a liss in the neighbourhood of Anglesboro owned by Stephen Keane. There is a ring in the centre of this liss where treasure is supposed to be hidden. One night Stephen and a couple of neighbours set out to dig for the gold. They were not long digging when they heard cocks crowing and saw light. They at once fled from the liss and never went near it again.
