  1. Hidden Treasure. 9-11-1937.
    There is an old story told that when the Danes were in Eire they buried some valuable swords and axes which were bordered with gold and other precious metals in a hole near a fort on the top of a hill, named Rath Roe. Rath Roe hill lies on the east of Killenaule in Co. Tipperary.
    It is said that on that day every five years the rainbow touches that place. My father told me that Story.
