    “Stones were drawn from Dunwiley Quarry to St Mary's Church.”

    Share Share Post
    Stones were drawn from Dunwiley Quarry to St Mary's Church Stranorlar, and in the midst of these stones was a certain large stone which had written on it "Gold Hidden here".
    The people raised this stone a little bit. Then the men left at night, and in the early part of the next morning the gold was stolen.
