  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Tradition tells us that there is a pot of gold buried at Geata an leanain near Kilfinny Creamery. It is said that a highway robber used to pass through that district and rob all the rich people that lived there.
    He was caught and sentenced to death and before he died he said "There is a pot of gold buried at Geata an Leanain in Kilmacow, Co. Limerick".
