    A short distance outside the fort there stands an old white thorn bush and beside that bush there is supposed to be a pot of gold hidden .The treasure is supposed to be guarded by a grey hound.Some years ago four men went to search for it during mass time. After digging for some time they reached a huge flag and while they were thinking how they would lift the flag,suddenly a fierce grey hound appeared standing on the flag ,there were sparks of fire coming out of his mouth he attacked them furiously . They fled for their lives,nobody has ever since made an attempt to find the treasure . Kathleen Guerin, Shalee. Told by Mrs Guerin. Kilnamona, Co. Clare.
