- there are a good many stories told about hidden treasures in the vicinity long ago.Some of these stories are supposed to be true but some of them are false.There is supposed to be a crock of gold hidden in Coill-og by some stranger long ago. When the Danes were plundering our country they were often pursued by the Irish and they often hid gold in this vicinity.there is supposed to be a large pan of gold hidden in Corlea .
One day it is said that a crowd of men went digging for the gold.The day was very calm and they had a good deal dug,a gust of wind came up from the hole and it blew the hats from their heads .Then they became afraid and they dug no more. - It was said that there was a lot of gold hid in this vicinity by the Danes The people often tried to get the gold but it always failed them.the first one that would try for the gold would be killed by an invisible creature that is minding it.It was said that there was a coffin of gold hid in Loughgraney lake.(continues on next page)
