    There is a treasure supposed to be hidden in Ballybrack Hill. At the place where it is hidden there is a pile of stones. It was left there in the time of the wars. Lights have been seen at this place. No one is known to have searched for this treasure. It is said that the man who hid it there, was an old woman who had a lot of of gold.
