    the ground and there is a stone over it where it is.
    Some people say that only two men have to look for it, and if they find it, one of them has to loose his life.
    This field belongs to Mrs Creagan. I don't think any one ever went to look for it.

  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a hidden treasure in the centre of Grannie's field at Killallon. Clonmellon, Co. Meath.
    It is under a loan tree which is in the middle of a pond. The treasure is a pot of silver.
    Nobody has tried to get the silver because before you get to the tree you would be drowned.
    The silver cannot be got with out the tree being cut. If it is cut something will happen to the cutter.
