- There was a treasure supposed to be hidden in a field in the townland of glenculloo, which is situated in the parish of Templederry, County Tipperary, about five miles west of Templederry village.
It was hidden there by the Danes who came over to plunder Ireland. Attempts were made to find it by a mane named Micheal Clifford of Curreeney. When he had dug some distance a terrible noise like thunder was heard and continued until he became frightened and ran away.
It was supposed to consist of gold.
