    Hidden Treasure
    3-12-'37
    About eighty years ago it was believed in the district of Carrigan, that a parringer of gold hidden in James McCabes garden, now James, having heard this tried to unearth it, but failed to succeed in his efforts. No lights have ever been seen about the treasure, the man's name who hid it is unknown.
    This story has been told to me by,
    Mr Ned McCabe
    Carrigan,
    Ballintemple Parish.
    Ballinagh,
    Co. Cavan.
