  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In one of the fields in the farm of Yellow Hill, a crock of gold was placed by a woman, Mary O'Connell, who still guards it with three dogs. One attempt was made by a near neighbour to capture the treasure but on his approach he saw a foxy woman combing her hair which was long and foxy and three dogs guarding her. He dropped his spade and shovel which he brought with him. No gold was found in my district.
