    Hidden Treasure
    Writte by Rosena Hannigan Cullenbra (Castletara Cavan)
    Collected from Edward Hannigan Cullenbra Castletara Cavan
    There is a Treasure hidden in the townland of Drumhome Ballyhaise. It is supposed to be a barl of silver and a barl of gold. It is on the top of a hill at a castle. It is supposed to be rold into the tunl.
    It was Owan Roe O Neills castle and Treasure. He hid the gold and silver because the English was going to confiscate his land.
    One day Tom Roake ? went to look for it. He got a cart of breks from the mouth of the tunl. He could not go any further with water.
