  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    A few years ago I heard my father saying that there was a hidden treasure found by Pat Dyar in Cloonmullin farm in the parish of Loughglynn in County of Roscommon. It consisted of a tin box which contained some things belonging to an ancient church believed to be hundreds of years old. Pat Dyar brought it to Canon Geraghty in Loughglynn who is now dead. He sent the articles to the Museum in Dublin.
