  1. Hidden Treasures - Silver at Cragg Hill

    Share Share Post
    There are a great many treasures hidden around this district.
    It is that years ago when the roads were being made a man named Patrick Ryan found some silver and gold in Castle-Lough between Portroe and Killaloe.
    It is said also that on the hill overlooking Killaloe there is an amount of lead and silver which has never been discovered. The name of that hill is "Crag Hill".
    People often searched for the silver but never could find any because they did not know the exact spot in which the silver was hidden.
