Hidden Treasure.
About eighty years ago an old man dreamt that there was a crock of gold hidden in his land at Ballashea Kilnamona.he had heard about the ancient castle of Ballyashea and he was sure to find some hidden treasures.
He went to ask people what to do.He was told to for the gold.He began to dig .He was very glad to find old irons and strange stones but he never found the gold.
One night there was a dance at a house near the field of the gold .About 10 p m the people at the dance saw three strange lights on the field of the gold .
Many people came to look for the gold but they never found the gold.
