    of the house in the morn. There was a treasure in Bornafea and it was found by a man from Wexford. There is a hidden treasure in Dysart This treasure is three pans of gold. It is to be got by a man from the Limetree, Co. Kilkenny that has six fingers on his right hand. He will be holding three generals horses when he will get it. One night a man dreamt of where it was and the next night he and ten other men set off to look for the treasure. They were from Coolcullen. They brought with them holy candles and holy water but they did not get the treasure. The flag will fall off when the man that's to get it will go there.
