    There is money buried in a field in Glenpipe. It has not been found yet. There was a sword belonging to Freyne the robber found the same field. The money is hidden not far from where the sword was found. The money was searched for many a time but was never found. The sword was by the side of a stream flowing at the foot of the field. The owner of the field is Jim Phelan. There was a light seen many a time down in a glen where the stream is running The value of the money is not known. There is a large white stone down in the stream under which the sword was found. It was thought that the money was under the same stone but it was not found but it is some place near it.
