- Once when the Danes were crossing this part of the country, they came upon a rich mansion that belonged to a merchant. But it was all locked up. They went around the mansion but they couldn't find any opening. Then they set to work to break the doors. They broke the most beautiful door that led into a big hall. Inside were tables and chairs of all kinds, but there was no money in it. The man who lived in it fled to a field with his big box of money. The field which he fled to now belongs to O’Callaghan's ,Turagh, Cappamore Co. Limerick and under an ash tree in a hollow in the field near a ditch he buried the box of money. Several attempts were made to discover the treasure, but it was never found by anyone.
