    Hidden Treasure
    I have heard of a treasure which is supposed to be hidden in Knocknagorrif in a field of Jim Meehan's in the parish of Templederry , Co. Tipperary about three miles and a half east of Templederry village. people of the same district made attempts to find it but did not succeed. The treasure was a cart of gold that was supposed to be hidden there long years ago There is a large stone placed over the spot where it is. When the people would go to dig for the gold in the night time they would not be able to find the spot where it was hidden.
    There used to be lights seen some distance away from it.
