  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a treasure hidden on the top of Bawn-Moat
    One day a group of people set out from the town to dig for the treasure. When they got to the top of the moat where the treasure was hidden they began to dig very hard to find the treasure.
    They had made a good hole down in the earth, and they were working still very hard, when they heard a noise coming up through the field. And when they looked, they saw a bull coming up towards them.
