  1. Long ago there was a man living in Kilcusnin, who had a dream one night that there was a pot of gold hidden in the middle of the "Kilnfield" near his house. Next morning he told his wife of his dream, she only laughed at him and said he was dreaming that time. He had this dream three times in succession. He was not at ease until he measured the "kilnfield" and found the centre of it. He dug up that place and sure enough there was the gold.
