  2. Long ago it is said that in the townsland of Gurtnacranna in the Parish of Borrisoleigh and in the Co. Tipperary in it is a pot of gold. The pot of gold is hid at the back of our house. But I have not have heard of any animal guarding the pot of gold. It is said that the pot of gold was hid there in the time of Cromwell. There has no attempts made to unearth it. There has no lights ever been seen where the pot of gold is hid. It is not known by whom placed it there. There is no silver or vessels hid.
