   There is said to be a treasure hidden about a mile from our house. It is a crock of gold One time a man from Westmeath dreamed about it, and in his dream he was told, that he would have to cross the Boyne and get the treasure, and be back across the river in a certain or two black dogs (which are said to be guarding it) would kill him. He came to the place but he thought the time too short and he did not risk his life.
