  1. There is a lios in a farm in Farrenbrien and gold is supposed to be buried there.
    It was put there by the Danes or the Normans or by the Irish when they were stealing from each other. A ghost used to be seen there by the people and many of them went to dig the gold and they were turned into stones and the stones are to be seen yet.
