  1. Hidden Treasures

    Share Share Post
    There is a field in the district of Coilagurteen called Páircín na Fola, and in this field there is a hidden treasure. It is said that here, a great battle was fought between King Roderick, and the English.
    After a hard fight King Roderick was defeated. Guns, bayonets, rifles, and several other arms, and ammunition are believed to be hidden there since. A light is often there, and it is said that King Roderick is there every night guarding the stuff. That field is always green throughout the whole year.
