Pupil- Francis Mulligan, Hightown, Killucan aged 14 years.Hidden TreasuresRattin Castle is about three miles from Kinnegad and the same distance from our school.It is said that once a robber stole a quantity of gold from the castle. He was pursued by soldiers and he dropped the treasure between two hills, Croc Mhor and Croc Mhuilinn. As the ground is soft in this district, the treasure sank into the ground, and it is said it is there yet.The majority of the pupils possessed this information from their parents.
