  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    At the back of my home there is a fairy path and there is money hidden under it.
    It is said that a long time ago two men went to dig for it. They put their rings of holy water on the spot where it was hidden and they dug it up and got the gold. So they went off to America and enjoyed themselves greatly.
    One day long ago a [?] man was ploughing in a field by Terrerath. His name was Thomas Kent, Park, New Ross.
    His horse stopped and looked around at him. The man went up to the horse's head and he saw a box made of stone.
