  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Another hidden treasure is as follow. This treasure is supposed to be hid by the fairies in a field, the property of Mr James Duffy in the townland of Aughaga. This man's father attempted to dig the field but he died before he was finished digging. This treasure consists of a pot of gold. In this field lights are seen on different nights. One night this man heard a voice at the window when he was in bed, it said "Don't attempt to go near that place any more."
    There are three clumps of rushes growing over the treasure.
