  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    It is said that there is a crock of gold hidden between Liscarroll and Churchtown, and that there is a black bull minding it. People were looking for it but the black bull hunted them, and they were not able to get it. It must be there yet because no one looked for it.
