- This is a story which I heard my Uncle telling one winter's night at the fireside. A crock of gold was hidden in the townsland of Barrack, by a very wealthy man.
It was supposed to be put underground some three or four hundred years ago.
It is said that it is guarded all the year round.
There are lights seen in the field occasionally, and there are fairies seen in the field as well.
When the people see the lights, they go to the spot, but when they reach it, the lights have disappeared. A great number of people have tried their luck to discover it but it was never discovered.
It is said that is labour in vain to be looking for it.
