- years and ago there was gold buried on Castleknock hill. There was an old Granny who lived in a little cottage near the gold. She had a little hen and dog. The hen guarded the gold in the day time and the dog guarded it in the night time. In aften years the hen and dog died. Then the old Granny died and the three of them are supposed to be seen at the bottom of the hill at night.Kathleen Stokes
