- It is said that one day a man was going (?) Caher, Knocknareeha, and he saw a woman sitting near a tub of gold, combing her hair in the sunshine, and it was during Mass time. He was so excited that he ran off to tell his neighbours what he saw. They rushed on the scene, and the woman and the gold dissappeared. It is said that if he threw a fist of earth into the tub he could have the gold.
