  2. Hidden Gold:
    There is a field in the townland of Ballynakilly in which there is a full bag of gold concealed. It is said that a man, being pursued by enemies hid it there.
    There is also a crock of gold supposed to be hidden under a cairn of stones in Tullyhullion. It is said that it is to be found by a red-haired boy, and whoever he may be, wont live long afterwards.
