    Hidden Treasure.
    Once upon a time there lived a man in the vilage of "Cnoc Uí Aodhagáin". At that time there were no drill sfor the potatoes like there are now. Ridges were the custom at that time. One day this man was setting potatoes and he struck a stone with the shovel and he said that will not hurt another [?]. He got the shovel under it and he took it up and under it was a nog [?] of tenpenny bits. It was worth about £200.
