- 173Hidden Treasures.One time Mr Mahon of Edermine found a pot of gold in an old hole in front of the hall door.
He and two other men named Mr Redmond and Mr Cullen dug for a week. They divided the pot of gold between the three of them. When they had it dug up three cats came up out of the hole and the men got frightened and fled. The three of them went back to the hole and to their surprise they saw the pot of gold.The above was told to me by
Mr Cullen, Edermine, Oylegate.
