  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    one bush but not there are so many that it is very hard to distinguish them. The Moate is a little hill.
    Billy Coleman told this to my father (Essie Keogh).
    There is supposed to be hidden treasure in Keogh's land on the Brown estate in Carrenstown, Ballivor, Co. Meath. It is where an old castle was long years ago on the top of a little hill. There is also a lone hawthorn bush on it.
    On Cooneys farm there is a hill called Shankhill and on it is a hawthorn bush and there is supposed to be hidden treasure beneath it and fairies minding it.
