  1. There is a large hill near my home. It is called "Cnuc an Airgead", it takes its name from the hill of money. If one would look from the top of this hill he would see a row of hills reaching towards the Co. Longford. It is said that in each of these hills there is a princes body buried and there is a large sum of money to be found hidden some place in each hill.
