The treaasure is generally supposed to be guarded by a fierce bull. Years ago some people came and searched for it, on Sunday during Mass time.They dug deep down into the earth until they reached the flag that covered it and after many weary hours of digging there was suddenly a peculiar darkness spread over the place,so that they could scarcely see each other, then they heard the loud bellow of the fierce bull and shortly after that the hugh form of the bull made its appearance. The ground shook for miles around with its mad bellowing. All the men fainted away and did not recover four hours. They never attempted to look for the treasure,it ay still be in hiding there,guarded by this fierce animal. Philomena Brody, Caherbanna. Told by Mr Michael Keane, Kilnamona, Ennis, Co.Clare
