    STORY
    In Loughloher Castle near Cahir it is said that there is gold hidden in the castle yard. On more than one occasion people went there to dig for gold. They dug a very deep hole and came to a flag, when they were chased by a strange bull. That morning the hole which the men made in search of the gold was closed up as if nobody had ever come to dig for the gold.
