    There was a loot of gold hid under the step of the door of the castle of Newbawn.

    There was a loot of gold hid under the step of the door of the castle of Newbawn.
    Two men from Tinnacarrig came in search of the gold. They got the gold and hid it in the ditch that night. One of the men got killed at a funeral next day, and the other man died a few days later. There was another man cleaning the ditch in which the gold was hidden and he got the gold and it is not known what he did with it.
