   There is said to be buried treasure in Ballinlough. In a field owned by John Roche. It is said that two men dreamed of it the same night. The next morning they went to look for it. They dug in the spot where they thought it was. Then they came to a big stone they were afraid to lift it so they ran home.
   The next day they went again to the place, they lifted the stone. There was tied there a big black dog and he was said to be minding the buried treasure.
