  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is supposed to be a treasure hidden in the Bog of Gallagh, and it is covered by a flag stone.
    It is in the townland of Gallagh in the parish of Togher, and in the County of Louth.
    I was told by an old man named Johnnie Campbell who lives in Mountainstown in the parish of Dunleer, and in the County of Louth, that it was hidden there.
    No attempts have been made to unearth it.
