  1. An old Fenian who went to America wrote to a friend of his in Glencar. He told his friend of his war experiences in Ireland. When the Fenian rebellion started in Cahirciveen they came through Glencar and there they were told to hide their guns. In a triangular field between two mountains where a stream was they hid the guns at the top of the triangle. He asked his friend to search for the guns in that field so his friend did so with two other men but they could not get them.
