    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there lived a man who dreamed of gold that was buried under a big holly tree on the top of a hill near Duagh. The man the next night went at twelve o'clock and began to dig until he hit a big flag. When he began to lift the flag a horse chased him.

    There are many tales told in connection with 'The Caves Gahard'. These caves are situated about three miles from Ballydonoghue. Some years ago a number of men made their way into the caves in search of gold and many other precious articles they are supposed to possess but on account of foul air they are supposed to be smothered in them for they were never seen again.
