  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is supposed to be a crock of gold hidden under the Round Tower in the grave-yard. The monks and priests are supposed to have hidden it there from the robbers.
    It is said that no one ever tried to get these valuable things. The fairies are supposed to guard these valuable things.
