- (continued from previous page)there is a place called Silver Hall. It is said that there was gold and silver hidden here years ago. There are many trees around this place and it is said that the silver was hidden among the trees and that the gold was hidden under a big oak tree.
From this place to a rath which is about twenty perches away but in the same estate a ball of light passes every night. This light was often seen by many.
Attempts have been made over and over again to find the gold but it was all in vain.- Collector
