  2. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In an old dwelling house not far from the dwelling of Pat Doran Coolmannon, there's supposed to be a hidden treasure. There is a box within and seated on the top is a Black cat.
    Long ago they say that a fairy was inhabiting this place and seemingly he died and left all his wealth in the box.
