    Hidden Treasure.
    In a field in the farm of Mr D Quaine of Cregane, Charleville, there is one of the oldest graveyards in Ireland. It is said that there are precious stones hidden there.
    It was said that they were hidden there hundreds of years ago. Nobody has ever tried to discover them because very few people know about it.
    There are not headstones marking the graves now. It covers about one acre of land Nobody has been buried there for over one hundred years.
