  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    The treasure is supposed to be hidden in one of Mr Glen's fields in Castlequarter, Inch. It is believed to have been placed there by one of the Cather Ruadhs. It was a chosen place by the man who was buired in this grave to have it placed by his side. It was accidently struck by James Lynch while he was ploughing. The treasure consists of a big gold bowl its value is unknown.
