  1. Hidden Treasure - Gold in Dunmahon Castle

    Share Share Post
    It is said by old people, that there is gold hidden in Dunmahon Castle, Dunmahon, Glanworth, Co. Cork.
    When men went to unearth the gold, they were chased by a bull with fire flying out of his nose. The men ran to save themselves and left the gold after them.
