    In Muckalee near where the waterworks stands now there is a Moat. Old people say that there is a treasure of gold buried in it. Some time ago four men went to dig this gold. When they were coming near the gold the hole filled with Dearagadales. Several times they tried it but it was all no use. The hole is there to be seen up to this very day.
