- Mortimer lived in a castle which is an old ruin now and it is called the Old Court. It is situated in Faughalstown in the eastern shore of Lough Derravaragh. There is a lot of hidden treasure in it. The English placed a cannon on the opposite shore and blew the castle to pieces.
Mortimer had one time to save all his treasure. Some of it is supposed to be underneath the ruin.
