  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is gold hidden in a round patch of grass at "Mullens Turn", (garesker, moyvalley). A white horse guards it. One day a man was digging for the gold. He had just got it when he heard a noise behind him.. He looked around and was surprised to see a white horse standing there. When he looked back again the gold had vanished. That was the result of his curiosity. Nobody knows whether it is money or gold vessels.
