Of all the searchers who went in quest of the gold none succeeded because when they were near their objective, violent storms arose their lights were extinguished and they were chased away by a large black dog. Miss Catherine St. John's farm, Ballinastick Parish of Gortnahoe, Barony of Slievardagh, Co. Tipperary On this farm in a fort called the críocán lay buried a large crock of gold.
