- There is supposed to be a Treasure buried in a field of Mr Denis Phelan, Bacca, Mountrath near a bridge known as Cullis.
Bridge or Cillia Bridge. He said it consist of two pots of gold. About 40yrs ago when Mr Fintan Phelan (father of the present owner) was ploughing this field the point of the plough hit a huge rock in the middle of the field. He slapped the horses.He took off the "pick" from the plough and with it raised the rock. He is supposed to have got a pot with 100 sovereigns in it. Of course he is supposed to have taken it home. It is said that the other pot is still there, but the people of the district are said to be too much afraid to interfere with it.
