- A treasure is supposed to be hidden in a field called "Savage's Field" in Kilrush. It was placed there by a man named Savage. I do not know why it was placed there. nO one has ever made an attempt to unearth it. It consists of gold.
There is a grassy mound at the place where it is supposed to be hidden.
