- There is a hill in Tiermaclane which is as flat a table on top and there is a big fort in it. When the Danes came to Ireland it is supposed that they robbed, killed,murdered and destroyed churches and took the gold and hid it in the fort.When the Irish gave battle to then they fled out of the fort and left the gold off them. Every night there lights seen there and crying heard.Some of the old people say that the light is keeping guard over the gold and that the crying is the Danes crying because they lost there gold.
