A Hidden Treasure [duchas:4874031]
Hidden Treasure It is said that there is gold hidden in a place called Cloch an Airgid in Carhovere at the end of Rath parish. The place where it is hidden is a quarry and there are many square flat stones wing writing but it is not easy to ready them now but it was easy to read them long ago. The gold is hidden under one of the stones and some people came by night to dig the gold. When they came near the gold something prevented them. There were people seen coming there by night and digging it. They were heard working and the holes were seen in the ground. Told by John O'Reilly Knockmacart. 12th January 1938 (55 yrs) Written by Mary O'Reilly Knockmacart.
