- In Drumard Lough there is a hidden treasure. The treasure is supposed to be a crock of gold. It is said that if any man is able to get two horses without a grey hair in them they will be able to get the crock of gold out. There was a lake in it in olden times it is now covered with a scraw. In the middle of this lake stands a little island. The crock is supposed to be under the big stones in it there must be a house in it. It is believed that people are watching it. No one goes there only the foxes has there dens there.
