- The Money HoleAccording to the statements of the old residents of Lough Gur the Money Hole in the centre of the grove beneath this circle has been for centuries the redezvous of many an exciting effort to discover a much coveted but hitherto unobtainable "Crock of Gold" believed to be buried there long long ago under the guardianship of an enchanted bull. Anybody who would be lucky enought to dream of the golden hoard for three night in succession would of course immeadiately organise a select party of his most intimate and courageous friends, then at the weird hour of midnight approaching and well supplited with all classes os defensive weapons ( with an abundance of Uisce Beatha) Poteen perhaps) and holy water, the treasure seekers assembed in the vicinity of the money hole to try conclusions with its enchanted guardian.
