  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is no treasure hidden in our district but there is one in Kilglass and long ago the parson of the parish sent his men to draw it away because every morning he would get a horse or an animal dead on the Hill. They went to the place to get the treasure but they got afraid as the saw lights and heard noise about it. So it was closed up again. My parents do not know people eating a certain amount of food so that they could find a treasure.
