    the turn to Kiltoghery creamery.
    There are the ruins of a monastery there, where a number of monks dwelt at one time. These monks were selfsupporting and in time got wealthy. They are believed to have their money buried under the walls of the monastery, but it never yet was found. A wall covered with ivy marks the place where this treasure is buried.
