  2. Another Old Legend

    Share Share Post
    There is a rath on the side of the road in Ballysop and it is said that there is money under the tree beside it. A bull is supposed to be minding the money and if anybody wants to get the money, he must first bring thread and put it round the tree, while the digging is going on. People tried to dig for the money from time to time, but the bull comes from the direction of Ballykerogue, by the old men that live around, namely Richard Quinn, John Cahill and Robert Quinn. Other old men used to talk of it too.
