  1. Hidden Treasure - A Golden Harrow

    Share Share Post
    Situated in the townland of Bracklen in the Parish of Delvin some distance from the road (on the right hand side) leading from Delvin to Ballivor, is a hill. This hill is called or goes by the name of "Mulla Harrow."
    A golden harrow is according to tradition buried beneath this hill. Underneath this hill is a cave, this cave was at one time entered, the only thing brought to light was a large stone on which was and is still to be seen the impression of a human hand. The golden harrow has so far never been located.
