  1. It is said that there is a treasure hidden in a field on the border of Conahy Parish near Castlecomer. Many efforts were made to find the treasure with out success. One night a crowd of men went to dig for the gold. A black man appeared to them and told them to clear off and never come near the place again. Nobody has searched for years.
