    It is said there is a treasure hid in Drumhilla fort in parish of Ballintemple, Co. Cavan.
    The entrance begins at Carrigan creamery also in Ballintemple Parish, and no one has ever got in, for when they would go a little way a swarm of bees would come out in their faces and if they got in they would have to leave some dead animal in its place
