  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a treasure supposed to be hidden near the entrance gate to the dwelling house of Mr Sweetman of Lambstown Parish of Glynn, County Wexford.
    It is not known by whom this treasure was hidden or by whom it is guarded. It is supposed to consist of money.
    About fifty years ago men dug for it, but they did not get any gold.
    Perhaps as men and tools have improved more daring men may attempt to find this treasure and may get it.
