  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In Newtown Nunnery there is supposed to be money hidden under a flag. Nine men planned that they would go and look for the money. They dreamt that one of them was to loose there life. One night they went to look for it, When they stirred the stone, a black bull came out from under the flag and let three fierce roars. One of them fainted and them had to carry him away and they had to carry him away and they got no money. It is said that people came over Cullahill mountain and took the money away.
