  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Thomas Gleeson, Knockanane, Borrisoleigh, told me the following story a month ago.
    In Brookly near Drom there is a large house. It is said that in front of the door of this house a pot of gold is hidden.
    The people supposed to have idden this gold are the Finns who once lived in that house.
    Many attempts were made to discover it but it has not yet been discovered.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
