    Hidden Treasure
    On the main road from Dromahane to the Beet Factory there is a place called the "gold diggings." When the men used to be bowling on the road it was a mark to finish the "score." An unknown person or persons came one night and dug all the ditch and some of the dyke, but it is not known whether they got the gold or not.
