- Hidden Treasure
In a lios in O' Callaghan's field, Turagh, Cappamore, Co. Limerick, gold is supposed to be hidden . Some people hid it there long ago when the Danes came to Ireland, because they were afraid the Danes would come to their houses and take it from them. cottemths were made by some people to get it, but they were driven back by a spirit in the shape of a bull. The people say that you should go in the middle of the night and carry a crock, a blessed candle, and holy water, in addition to a couple of spades with which to dig it.
