- There are three heaps of treasure hidden in the moat in Fertagh. A heap of gold, a heap of silver and a heap of copper. It was hidden there by an old druid for safety.
An Irish American dreamt one time that if he came to the moat at Fertagh he would find his fortune. He brought three bags with him, and when he reached his destination he entered the door of the cave and to his great astonishment he found the three heaps of money.
He returned for the bags which he left outside the cave and when he returned again, he could find no door. He went back to America again, with no more money than what he had when he left America.
