  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Síle Bhuidhe was a noted robber and plundered all before him. He had a cave in Gleann Clusach where he hid lots of treasures and money. He was well guarded and protected by armed soldiers. He used to go to all the wealthy houses and rob all before him. His money and treasures were supposed to have been seen by some of the old people of this parish.
