- Hidden TreasureMoate is a townland about 3 miles from Baltrasna - between that and Ballinacres. There is a house there called The Moat House - beside that house is a large Moat one of a ring of three or four others within a radius of 4 or 5 miles.
In that Moat is a cave and some 30 or 40 years ago "an Altar stone and two brass candlesticks were supposed to have been found there. That cave is supposed to be connected with the caves of the other moats by an underground tunnel.
