    Hidden Treasure
    There is a hidden treasure in Knockbrown. It is hidden in Mr Crowley's or my father's land. It was hidden there in 1870 by the Fenians.
    The treasure consists of firearms and ammunition. They put them there when they were beat in battle. Then they went off to England. When they came back the fields were made bigger. Then they tried to search for it in 1919 and they could not get it. There are many holes in our furze brake after them.
