- There is supposed to be a hidden treasure about one hundred yards to the south of my dwelling beside the castle of Kilcooley and it is said to be guarded by a fierce black cat. It is supposed a golden vessel containing some very precious jewellery and a magic stone which would get you anything you would desire. Many years ago a man tried his luck to see if he could get the treasure and after crawling through the cave for some distance, he could hear the distant purring of the cat and he saw under his feet human bones which is supposed were killed by the car. The man was forced to turn back and since then no one tried to get the treasure.
