    Share Share Post
    3. There is supposed to be a crock of gold and a chest of pearls hidden in Lemonaghan County Offaly in the parish of Ballinahown in Guinan's field. There is a big hill where this gold is and it is said that before it is found someone's life is to be taken. There is supposed to be a little red man minding it and he would kill you if you went near him and no on chanced it yet.
