  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    I was out one night and I saw a light going over the hills back near Ashford.
    Once there lived a man who had gold hidden. Some men dug for it all night and all day. They found a cashet of coins and a metal box of silver.
    There is treasure hidden in the fort and Castle of Kilbolane, Milford, Co Cork.
