  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    This story is related of a clever boy who was hunting one day in a field in Knockfelagh in he Cappawhite district of Tipperary.
    His dog gave chase to a rabbit, who made for a burrow in a fort. The boy produced a spade to open the burrow.
    He came to a large slab which he removed, and underneath he found an entrance under the ground which he followed for a while but, afraid, he returned and induced an innocent boy to go down while he remained above himself.
