- Once upon a time the Enrights were cutting turf. At the time people were saying that a lot of hidden treasures there. After being a few days they found a rock and under the rock was a flat stone.
They took up the stone and under it was a jar and it was full of mud and stones. Alongside that was another stone and up above it was a purse of gold. There was another stone at the other side and under it another jar and nothing inside in it.
People say that the reason that there was a jar at each side of the purse of gold was that when they get one of the jars that they would think that there would not be any more there. They sent the gold to the Museum in Dublin.
