10..11..'37 - In the olden times it is said that there was gold buried in O'Callaghan's field, Turagh, in the parish of Cappamore, Co. Limerick. This treasure is said to have been hidden by the fairies.
Some people tried to dig for the treasure, but they were driven back by a spirit bull. It is said that there was light often seen where the gold was buried.- Collector
