  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a crock of gold supposed to be hidden on on the Clooncoo side of Logh Rynn below John Creamers house. A man and a woman went to look for it but the Rynn land steward ran them away. I do not know who the man and woman were, but they lived in Tulcon. There is a big eel supposed to be guarding it.
