- Many years ago there was a man named King Coleman. It is said that he lived in a cave near Kilcolman cemetery. He was hidden there because the Fenians were following him. They made great attempts to get into the cave but he went away and died soon after. Then a cat came to the place. It was said that there was a treasure hidden there. It consisted of gold and bronze. On November night at twelve o'clock there are usually several lights seen round it. It is in the townland of Kilcoleman, and in the Parish of Ballaghaderree.
