  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a Monstary in Abington and monks lived there long ago and beside the Monstary there is a hill. It is said that valuable vessels were hidden there long ago. Many attempts were made to get them, but none of them were ever found. No hidden treasure has ever been discovered in my district. It is also said that gold was hidden in Brittas castle by Sir John Burke when he was living there. But it has never been discovered.
