In almost every townland in Ireland there is supposed to be a hidden treasure. There is supposed to be a hidden treasure in the Monument in in William Walshe's field, in the townland of Lixnaw. It is said that it was put there by the Lords of Lixnaw. About forty years ago some men went to dig it up and it is said that every time they went to dig it up a dig black bull followed them. This treasure is supposed to be worth a good deal of money.
