    In Dungueeha a mile north of Newcastle West there is treasure hidden.
    One day a man went to look for it. he got a lantern and a rope and spade. Just as he was digging he saw a bull coming he ran home and told his wife. He went back again in the morning and he found his lantern, rope, and a spade and the hole covered.
    The fort is guarded by the bull
