    in the farm occupied by Mrs Blake Leaney. Many people have searched for the treasure but no one has been able to unearth it. A ploughman working in a field adjoining is said to have touched a flat stone with the plough. He heard a hollow noise and afterwards could not find the place where the plough touched the stone. The name of the workman is Mr Sylvester Butler Ballinastrow Tallow Co Carlow.
