- Places
Annie's Well At the side of this well there is supposed to be gold hidden. At certain times of the night there is a light seen. It is situated near Culleen Hall in Culleen. A white dog guards it. - St John's Well At this place, about three feet from the well there are two flat stones and under these stones gold is supposed to be found. A few years ago men went digging for the gold but they got nothing. They only dug under one stone because the people said it was not right; when they were near a holy well.
- St Johns Cave. This cave is situated near the Shannon in St John's In this cave ammunition is supposed to be found concealed, But nobody ever got any.
