“About sixty years' ago a little more or less, a carpenter was working in a farm-yard at Ballyling, bounding Castle-Richard where the famous castle is.”
(continued from previous page)was there buried in a lantern and a bastable, and it was only one foot under-ground a white thorn bush. It was three feet (deep) south of where they dug so deep. When the quarry-man came back he saw the white-thorn bush. This must be it said he. They dug deep with spades and crow-bars. They found there was not as much surface, as would bury a crow. They went back to Fermoy cool and recollected. It is said some-one discovered it.

“Long ago a party of men from Ballynua, heard how there was gold to be found in a rock in Castlerichard, near the old church yard.”
