  1. Old Road from Tara

    Share Share Post
    At the cross of Beamore in Co. Meath there is a little thatched house off the road owned by Mr. Farrelly.
    At the corner of his house there is a little narrow lane running down to the end of Mr Langan's fields.
    It is said that when the high Kings lived at Tara it was one of the five principal roads running from Tara.
    A Treasure Hunt
    It is said that once two men once dreamed that there was gold buried in Crufty Wood. The Next Morning they went to search for it.
    As soon as they came to the treasure a fairy jumped out and would not let them take it.
