    Hidden Treasures.
    7. About a mile from Rathkeale on the road to Limerick you would meet a five cross roads. Turn to to the right and keep on straight until you come to the third old road on the right hand. About a quarter of a mile in you will meet a house in Mr. Enright's land. About three fields north of the house you could see a fort.
    In the middle of that fort there is a mount and under that there is a pot of gold. There was no attempt to get it. Some of the people say that a black dog is guarding it.
