  1. Folklore - A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a treasure supposed to be hidden in Tullinaho, a few miles from Kilkelly. The treasure consists of a pan of gold.
    Long ago a giant from Knock threw a rock to Tullinahoo, and covered the treasure. It is said that there are an old woman, and a black cat minding it. A few years ago six men from Claremorris tried to break the rock. They worked hard for about a fortnight, but they did not succeed in breaking the rock.
