- Treasure is hidden in a hill on the land of Mr Bailey Lacka. Two men came out from Shinrone ten years ago with spades and shovels to dig up the treasure. It consisted of golden vessels. The two men were coming near the treasure when suddenly they fainted. At dark a man saw them and got them taken home to Shinrone. Their attempt to get the treasure failed and since then it has not been found. There is a ditch called the money hill ditch on Mr. Bailey's land.
