  1. Hidden Treasure
    My Mother told me that there was a bag of gold hidden under the big head stone in the Monument. People often tried to get it but they failed.
    My Mother also told me that there is a box of gold in the sand pit in Garbally and people might have the luck to find it some day.
    Told by my Mother age 47
