  1. The treasure to which I refer is a crock of gold. It is supposed to be hidden in Ballyaddams castle. Sean na Feca was supposed to have stolen it and hidden it in his castle.
    The gold was stolen from his castle, but by whom I do not know. But the person who stole it got it through a hole in the wall.The hole was built up, but each time pulled down again by unknown hands.
