  1. Gold is supposed to have been hidden in a tunnel which leads from the Old castle Portumna to Elliot's in Jerryglass. Attempts were made by Mr. Molloy to unearth it. When they come to a certain part of the tunnel they were stopped by a black dog who is said to be guarding the gold. No other attempts have been made since to find it.
