    Long ago there was a treasure supposed to have been hidden in a rath in Farranbrien. It was placed there by the Danes who were in Ireland. Two men went to dig it. They remained three weeks digging it. It was a crock of gold. The result was that one of them fell sick. The other person never tried to dig it after that. It is still in that place.
