    Hidden Treasure
    The only hidden treasure that I ever heard of was hidden down in Rostellen Castle, near Cloyne to Cork. A Man from Cloyne bought a mattress at an auction in Rostellen Castle. He was a harness - maker. No one knew who put the treasure there.
    When he got the mattress he sold it to another man. When that man opened the mattress for the hair, he found a great heap of gold. He gave the fellow that he bought the mattress from some of it.
