- It is supposed the is a hidden treasure buried near Carrig Rock and when we have a fall of snow it never rests on the spot. One day a man was crossing Carrig and he met an old woman and she showed him the place where the treasure was buried. She told him to come to that spot in the middle of the night and to bring with him a hazel bough and a cock and a bottle of Whiskey. She told him to dig up the treasure but to have it gone before the cock would crow. He came at midnight with another man and brought with him as the woman told him. They had the treasure nearly got when the cock they had with them crew, and the monster in charge began to roar and they ran for their lives.
