  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is treasure supposed to be hidden in the Three Doons.
    It was put there by Willie Brennan and the robber buried it there.
    It was hidden there by him so that nobody could find it. It is said that Pat Carey found a lump of gold there. The buried treasure consists of gold. Long ago people tried to find it but they were chased from the place by a big red bull.
    People say that if you ate the meat of a stag you could find the treasure.
