Teller obatianed story from: Patrick Nolan. Hidden Treasure My uncle, Mr Doyle, who now lives in america, told me that there is a big field in Ballycallane and that treasure is supposed to be buried in it. No one ever went to dig it out becasue the field was very big and no one knew where to dig. One night a mad - man. Patirck Nolan went to dig for the buried treasure. He had only stuck his spade in the ground. When he heard aloud noise behind him like thunder. He turned around and saw three big black horses galloping around him in circles and gradually coming nearer and nearer to him. He jumped over the gate and ran all the way to the village. Then he looked behind but the horses were no- where to be seen.
