  1. There is a story told there is money buried in Mr. Morrisons orchard in Ballinvarrig in the parish of Rathcormac.
    Two men named Jim Daly and John Andy went to dig for it one night. They brought spades and shovels and all the things they wanted. They were digging away. They said nothing would frighten them. About twelve o clock a bull gave a terrible big roar. They ran away and left spades and shovels and money after them. They never came digging for the money after that.
