  1. Where Gold is Supposed to be Hidden

    Share Share Post
    When you are going out Newtown road you come to a big cross then turn to your left and you go up a big hill until you come to a wood. In the very middle of that wood there is a cave shaped like a mans head. In this cave there is a chest of gold and on it is a dead soldier. This wood is called the Friar's wood and the English soldiers left the treasure there. They left a dead man minding it.
