  1. Long ago there was supposed to be an underground path leading from Clounagh Churchyard gate in Collcappa road to Lisnaculla castle. It was said that there was gold placed there by the danes. Long ago when the people heard of it they went in search of it, but in vain they could not find it. The treasure consists of a pot of gold. There was a bull supposed to be minding it. Long ago lights were seen in the spot where the gold was supposed to be hidden.
