    Share Share Post
    Not a mile from the school in the townland of Deerpark, Belmont, Offaly. There is a very rough piece of ground which is called "The Monween" There is a cave there and one day two men went to seek for hidden treasure in this cave.The heard very strange music and dancing coming from the far end and they had to leave this cave and run.
    There is an under-ground river there. There is a rock and a key to open it. One day a man found the key and threw it away again.
