  1. Hidden Treasure - The Golden Gates

    Share Share Post
    In Upper Gurteen there is a small grove on the right side of the road which leads to Clonmel. In this grove is an old ruin known as the Druids Altar. Five large stones support each other and a large flat stone about 4 feet by 3 feet is (laye) laid on top. It is said that long ago Golden Gates led to this Druids Alter; that these gates were removed and buried in the old Moate which is to be seen in the centre of Kilsheelan village.
