- There is a treasure supposed to be hidden in Mortimer Castle which is situated on the right hand side of lake Derravaragh. It was placed there by Mortimer for fear of it would be taken by Cromwell who was then in Ireland.
The buried treasure consists of a crock of gold and is supposed to be worth one hundred pounds.
There is supposed to be a cock and a black cat always safe-guarding the treasure.- Collector
