  1. There is supposed to be hidden treasure under a rock in a river that flows by our house. This treasure is supposed to be a crock of gold. It has been searched for by several people. I was told about this treasure by Mick Cavanagh, an old man and a native of this place. He told another man, whose name is John Feeney come about this treasure. So John quarried away a piece of the rock and found a few bits of gold.
