  1. In Tulla Church, near Three Castles, Co. Kilkenny, there is a room called the Sacred Loft. In this room many people went to school. A teacher taught them. Every day when the children were learning the teacher slept. Later on a school was erected near Three Castles. Since then School was never taught in the Sacred Loft.

  2. In Hennessy's Cill in Blackcastle (near Three Castles) a crock of gold was buried. One night men were talking in a house. when a [?] man came in. He told them that there was a crock of gold in Hennessy's Cill, and told them to dig for it. They set out with candles and spades, and dug. They dug and dug until they came to a flag. Just then the candles went out. After that they never went back to dig for it.
