    (continued from previous page)
    is supposed to be a treasure hidden in Knock Hill. They say they dug the hill and they found a crock of gold. There is supposed to be a hidden treasure in a field of Pat Glennon's in Clonahill. It is said that gold is hidden there by the fairies and anyone who looks for it will die. Lights are seen occasionally. There is another story told about a man named Kelly who lived in Camla. He looked for it and he got it but he was never lucky after that.
