    people say it is there yet and it is believed that a person of the future generations will discover it.
    Donal O'Keeffe was in love with a girl named Eileen O'Callaghan. She betrayed him to the English and she was given a sum of £1,000 to do this. Donal discovered this and in his fury he stabbed her. At that moment the English rushed into the Caves and shot him.
    Nobody has discovered the gold but I suppose some person will find it in the near future. There are a great number of other tales connected with these Caves.
