- Hidden Treasure
There is a very big stone in an old lane near the Commons, and it is said that whoever digs under it will get a crock of gold. It was hid there by a man who was going away to America and never came back.
It is said that there is gold, and other valuable thing, hidden in an old tunnel in Cruicerall. A man who was living there hid them for a friend in the time of Cromwell.
There was a man living long ago working at a place called the Blackhill. One day as he was walking along the Boyne the saw something sticking out of the ground, and when he got it up it was a box full of gold.
Inside the walls of an old church in Cruicerall there is a big flat stone and down in a hole under the stone holy things made of gold our hidden.
In the pond on the Commons of Duleek valuable swords were hidden long ago.
