3. Horseman Guarding Gold

   

   Share Share Post

   Plenty of gold hidden in Kilbride's fort (the Moate or the Ring) but there is no chance of getting at it. It is guarded by horsemen every night of the year (See story in Book 1 about the man who escaped from the horsemen).
   The Fenians of this locality buried their pikes in this fort, when the Rising was over. A search was made for them a few years ago. Nothing found except form of doorway wh none of the searchers would enter.
