   Hidden Treasure About two miles from this place a treasure is supposed to be hidden. This place is called Coobroo. It was placed there by the O'Dwyers of Kilnamanagh when they were fleeing from Cromwell. One night a number of men went to look for this hidden treasure but a big bull came and attacked them. They went the second night and took guns with them but a horse of an enormous size came and frightened them away. The treasure is supposed to be a jar of gold and silver. It is hidden in a well. A very large horse is supposed to be guarding it.
