  1. Hidden Treasure - Gold in the Kileen

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Manning Glanworth Co Cork, it is said that there is gold hidden in a field of Mr Cogan's called the Kileen.
    One night men went to dig for the gold but they were hunted by a Turkeycock. The gold was never discovered since.
