  1. Before retiring at night “ Éamonn a
    Chnuic “ was supposed to hide his money, and there is a remarkable place in Faillín an Chró, where it is thought the treasure still exists.
    There is also a story told, about a search that was made for gold, in a place called the “ Nine Holes “ near Lossett Cross. The search-party was frightened by the sound of loud voices in the vicinity, but the traces of their work may yet be seen.
    I got this information from my father, Paterick Mc Laughlin, Birchgrove,
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
