    “Many years ago, near the rock of Dunamase a farmer name Whelan lived.”

    Share Share Post
    Many years ago, near the rock of Dunamase a farmer name Whelan lived. He dreamed that money was buried in a certain place in the ditch of an old rath on his own farm. He payed no attention to the dream.
    Some years after he was levelling the ditch around the rath so as to make his field bigger. When he came to the spot where he dreamt the money was buried he dug out an antique earthen vessel filled with many curious silver coins.
    These he sold to his landlord Captain Baldwin, Raheenduff House, near Stradbally.
