- It is said in olden times that there was gold to be found some distance in behind an iron gate in the Rock House in Dangan.
Men went and dug for the gold. They were not very long digging when one of them dreamed that there would be a life lost but that they would get the gold in the end. Then the men got afraid and dug no longer.
It is said that the gold is there still and that a person of the name of Connor will get it yet.- Collector
