   Hidden Treasure Tara is an ancient place where Kings used to live long ago. There were some ancient treasures buried there, during the reign of the Kings of Tara. There was one thing which was treasured very much called the Urn. During the war with the Kings in Tara they buried these treasures to safeguard them. The Uran was one which they buried. Since then attempts have been made to get this treasure but have not succeeded. The Antiquarians made attempts to get this treasure. This Uran was guarded in years gone by but at present there is no one guarding it. Lights have been seen at Tara.

The names of these two men were Gus Briscoe and Sherlie Ball. Margaret Crocock
