  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It is said that there is a treasure hidden in Mr Mc Carthy's field bounding the Maolinn.
    Mr Bennet of Aghern had a dream that there were some coins hidden in a field close by. Next day on going out into Mc Carthy's field and digging down a few feet he found a couple of coins. On proceeding further a small man appeared on whose face shone a blue light.
    Mr Bennett being very frightened went home as fast as he could. He got such a shock that he still remains in bed nearly dead.
