   There is an old ancient cave on the side of a hill in Baurnadomeeny, parish of Kilcommon, Rear Cross, Newport, Co. Tipperary. It is less than a half a mile from the road overhanging a deep glen. It is called Diarmuid and Graine's grave. It contains all stone and it is the make of a flat roofed house. It is said that it was brought there when the Danes first came to Ireland. It is only about a mile from Rear Cross school and people came there not so long ago to view this scenery.

   This is a hidden treasure on the top of Cullann Hill. It is between Foilleen and Minacrea in the parish of Kilcommon, Co. Limerick. The plot where it is is called Poll na Strana. It was put there by the Danes. When the Danes were going out of Ireland they hid three stans of gold on the top of that hill.
