  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    When the English soldiers were around the Mulkear river, (Co. Limerick) and Sarsfield's soldiers were going to attack them, the English had a wagon of gold and in order not to let Sarsfield's troops get the money they cut the straps off the horses and threw the gold into the river.
