3. Just under a white thorn bush at St Tomeses well Graigwine? there was an old man named M. Foley and another man dug for a crock of gold, and found a flag. He was half in dread, to go any farther because he saw a black cat every time he went near it. He turned for home and no one ever tried for gold there again.

- In Piltown in a field near the Rathmore road there is gold hidden. The field belongs to Tommy Shea artlone Three men started to seek the hidden treasure. They were digging and digging, and did not mind any thing. At last they heard the roaring coming along. They did not mind it at first. Then it came very near and they saw it was a bull. They fled in terror the bull following them.
