there was no trace or sign of the gold.There is a verse which says.:-
Loughgraney a handsome place,
It lies within a lovely vale.
The lofty trees of Dillon's wood,
Defend it from the western gale,
When hares and hounds from o'r the ground
And huntsmen tour right speedily
Where lads and lassies dance and sing
On the lovely banks of
Loughgraney.
