    Hidden Treasure
    In Dungimmon near Sandybrook, there is supposed to be a treasure hidden in the Lough. It is said it was hidden by the Danes long ago, and it would take two pure white horses to take it out.
    It is said the treasure consists of gold, and silver and other valuable articles.
    We don't know whether anyone ever tried to get it or not.
