  1. There is a crock of Gold hidden in Robinstown. It is in the parish of Cushinstown. One night some men went to dig for it.
    When they were near the stone that was over the gold and they were surrounded by a lot of hedgehogs and they left the stone and went home frightened. Another night about three years after that they went to dig for it again. They brought holy water with them this time. And when they were digging they were surrounded by a lot of black cats. They shook the holy water around but they did not go away and they went home and no one ever went to dig for it after that.
