    Stories of Hidden Treasure
    Years ago there was a man named Bill Synnott and he had four hundred pounds in silver saved up. There were a lot of battles being fought at that time all round ireland, and he wanted to hide the money.
    He got a box and put the money in it. Then he tarred the box all round and put it under a little tree in a wood in Blakestown near Maynooth.
    After a week he died. People searched but could not find the hoard.
    A light is very often seen in the wood, but when people go near it disappears.
