  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    A lane called "The Blind Lane" leads from the Dunlavin - Hollywood road, to the Dunlavin - Naas road.
    On one of the sides lies a big stone covered with moss.
    Two men who lived in teh townland of Logatrina some years ago, one named O'Neill, and the other Browne, set out one night with spades and picks, to see if any treasure could be found.
    They returned and never touched the stone, neither did they tell why they did not touch it.
