   There is a story told by a very old person who said that one night she was coming from a neighbours house and she had to pass a wood in which there was a stile believed to be haunted. the woman was very poor and was not very well able to walk. when she was 220 yards in Bargy wood she sat down on the stile. It was a bright moonlight night and the fairies were out dancing. She heard noise. There was a loose flag on the stile. The old woman raised it and she saw a tine box. She opened it and found 1,000 pounds in it. John Foley, Mayglass, Ballycogley, Co. Wexford.
