  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    From the ancient Norman castle in Ballymagyr which is now thrown down, to
    Killag cemetery, runs an underground passage, and people say that there is treasure hidden in this tunnel by those fleeing from danger, during the Norman period.
    No attempts have been made to uncover the gold, but people went through this secret passage many times, and they may have got it.
    Nothing has been seen on guard at the entrance or outlet of this tunnel.
