  1. A light is supposed to have been seen in Tallow Hill Wood watching money that was hidden by Robert Harrington. Long ago a king was supposed to have been buried in the hill and his soldiers hid his gold crocks and his silver jars in Coolowen, Tallow. Money is supposed to have been hidden in Coolagoody, Tallow.
    Tallow Hill Wood is on the north east side of Tallow
    Coolowen is a townland north west of Tallow. Coolagoody is near Coolowen on the same side.
