  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    A treasure was supposed to be hidden under a flagstone in Barryscourt, Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork.
    A man in Rathcormac dreamt about this treasure three nights running and told the people for whom he was working named "Curtins."
    The people came with the man to Barryscourt and dug for the treasure. They dug until they came to the flagstone and then gave the man drink so that he would go asleep.
    They dug up the treasure which consisted of a lot of "Gold Coins".
    When the reached home they gave the man more wages every week.
