  2. There was once a pot of gold hidden under an altar in an old church at Drumacoo a village a few miles this side of Gort. One night a man had a dream about this pot of gold. He went to search for it. He dug up the old altar and he found the pot of gold. The hole is still to be seen yet where he found it.
