    On the road between Kildalkey and Fraine (the bog road) there is a hill called Kenny's Hill in which there is supposed to be hidden treasure.

    It must be a long time since they lived there because a man names Paddy Reynolds lived in the house till it was too bad to live in about 3 years ago. It was a mud wall house.
