  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    A man was bringing stones out of Flaharty's castle near Clonmel. He heard of gold being in it, so he dug, and got more gold than he was able to carry. The farmer went to call him to his dinner, but he could not find him, all he found was a few pieces of gold. The other lad was gone off with the gold.
