  1. Hidden Treasure

    Every night Croughal is full of lights.

    Every night Croughal is full of lights. They say they are guarding the treasure consisting of gold and silver and golden and silver vessels which are supposed to be buried in Croughal particularly around the castle. Several have tried to get the treasure but none have been successful. Over near Ballinderry a golden boat and a sword were found some years ago.
