  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    One time there lived in Carrigbyrne a man named James Condon. He and more men went one night to find treasure that one of them was dreaming about. They went up on the rock of Carrigbyrne and raised up a stone and a hen flew out at them and would not let them near it, so they went home. They came back the next morning to look for the treasure, and when they reached the spot they lifted up the stone again and they found a can and a teapot full of little small leaves.
