    Long ago there were people who lived in Rathmore, Called Plunkets. Is is said that they left Hidden Treasure there when they were fleeing from Cromwell.
    For a long time people have dug there for it but never found it..
    One Night they had camped there for this purpose they saw a light and a figure and fled for their lives and nobody has ever looked for it since.
