   treasure seekers as fast as the Kielys erected it. This became so unbearable that when the dogs announced the presence of the gold seekers, the Kielys rattled chains to frighten them away.
   So far did the fame of this treasure travel that an individual, in Valencia in Spain, was in frequent correspondence with the Kielys regarding it, and showed an intimate knowledge of the castle and its surroundings, just as if he had lived there. He promised to unearth the treasure if given his travelling expenses to Ireland. Mr Kiely acting on advice broke off the correspondence.
   Others say the treasure was buried in Gash's Glen near the gibbet and when the gold seekers arrived they were attacked by the ravens and driven off.
   Another account states that the gold was buried in a boiler or large pot in the glen, and in the early morning the spot was easily discernible as no dew fell on the ground over the boiler. There is no account of the treasure being discovered by anyone but Mr Kiely found a coin where a cow had broken down the fence. He dug here but did not discover anything. Unfortunately the coin has been lost.
   Legend says that the giant Terry was killed by Sean Óg De Barra Dunbogue and buried in a large tomb in Ballyfeard graveyard. This tomb is covered by a large flat stone broken in two by a falling tree.
