  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man had a dream that there was gold at the foot of the Beach Hill on the way to Ballybrack. He told his neighbours all about the dream and they agreed to dig for it. They dug and dug until they got tired but they got no gold. Then they filled up the hole again.
