  1. 7th Story.
    Hannah Rahilly of Tonreigh also tells that a field in the vicinity of Chute Hall is known as the "Plate field". This "plate" consisted of valuable vessels of silver which were stolen out of Chute Hall House probably by the servants and buried in this particular field N. of the Great House. This plate was recovered in the time of the Chutes who have now left Chute Hall. The farm and house are now in possession of Mr. John Hickey.
