- There is supposed to be a loot of gold hidden on the side of Killeen Hill in County Tipperary. It is said that a woman hid it there during the Cromwellian period in Ireland. The value of the loot of gold is not known. The woman died before she reached Connaught.
Sometime after a man named Madden had a dream that the loot of gold was hidden on the side of Killeen Hill and there would be snow in the morning and this certain place where the gold was hidden would be green, also that no one only a descendent of the Madden's could get the gold. The following morning he went to dig for the gold but he lost courage.
A few years ago Patrick Moloney who owned the land found men from Clare digging for gold and he hunted them, lights were also seen there.
