  1. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    One year long ago a man came from England. Some man in Ireland told him that there was money hidden under the big stone at Bigstone cross. He got some people to turn it. Cut in the stone were these words,
    "Labour in vain
    Turn me back again"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
