- There is a tradition in this district that treasure was buried at the N Eastern corner of the castle. The castle is now in ruins except that the Northern gable is standing and good portions of the West and east sides. It is related locally that a castle was built here by Raymond Le gRóis when he was brought from Wales after the first battle of Thurles. It is said the Strngbow's army when retreating from Thurlestook the route via Graystown Castle along what is now the G.S.R line between Thurles and Clonmel. Many things point to this story being correct i.e. Heaps of human bones have being in this district along the railway line some hundreds of bodies must have been thrown into a heap and covered over lightly by soil consisting of sand and peat. I know of two of these heaps - One in Callaganstown at a place called Paírc Nagcnamh; The other is in Devacknew and is now known as Hickey's Hill. Many attempts have been made to get this treasure but all have failed. Three rules should be conformed with.
(1) Dug at 12 OC on a dark night on Nov 1.
2. Find the clump of nettles six feet from NE Corner
3. It must be got at alone - no attendant.
