- In days gone by, when the Normans came over and robbed and plundered the country, the people hid their treasures on the mountains and in other places. My grandfather told me about one part of the mountain where gold is supposed to be hidden. This part of the mountain is called Corraig - mo - Cleir [?]. One day two men set out determined to dig and get the gold. When they reached the spot where it was, they began to dig, after about an hour digging, they met a hard thing like a rock, all at once they heard a bark like a dog, looking around they saw two big animals like geese, they flew away and that ended their digging.
