  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There were two men knocking a fence in the fort of Knockanure. It was all briars and ivy and they had great difficulty in knocking it. They found a tin round box. They opened it and found it empty. They put on the cover and they struck it with a chissel. They took the cover off again and they found a small piece of moss. Under the moss was a piece of bassal and under it there was a black square purse worked with yellow thread all round.
    They said that if they made the sign of the cross on the box they would have a pot of gold. They did so and they opened the purse and inside it they found the gold.
