- As a result of dreams that gold was buried outside the walls of the Teampaillín, at least three attempts, at different times and by different people, were made to dig for the treasure, at night. On each occasion, the treasure-seekers were frightened off by "spirits" which appeared as an enraged bull.
The last attempt was made in 1908.The Teampaillín is a ruin which is in the townland of Kilbolane, Milford, Ráth Luirc. It will be referred to under "Local Ruins".
- Some believe that the gold was buried by residents of Kilbolane Castle, as it is supposed that an underground channel extends from that ruin to the Teampaillín. The Castle will be referred to under "Local Ruins". Others believe that members of a family called Hayes endeavoured to find the treasure.
