  2. Folklore - Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Treasure is supposed to be buried in the Castle of Killesk. On a moonlight night the moon shines in through some hole on a flag, and under this flag gold is supposed to be buried. One night two men went to dig in the castle for gold but did not find it. In recent years as a man named James Barron of Killesk was ploughing near the Connebar he found a bar of gold, also a gold breast-plate of a shield of a King.
