  1. Treasure is supposed to have been hidden at Bellurgan Point. It is not known who placed it there and no one ever tried to get at it. It is supposed to be gold that is hidden. It is said that whoever goes to look for it will have to dig for it at twelve o'clock at night. There is a with there who minds the treasure by day and night. The story goes whoever finds it will suffer the loss of a joint. People didn't want to lose an joint, and so no one ever looked for the treasure.
