    Share Share Post
    Long ago it is said there was a tunnel going from one Abbey in Fenagh to the other. And it was also said there were gold and other jewels hid in some place in it.
    Two or three men planned to open the tunnel some moon light night and at last they discovered the tunnel. One of the men walked over a bit and after a few minutes he got a slap on the face that turned his head right round and he could not see anything hitting him.
    The men went out of the tunnel as quickly as they could and closed the hole. It was never opened since.
