- There is a field in our village and in this field there was a man found buried in a golden box and a pot of gold at his feet and a helmet. One day the owner of this land was ploughing in this field and the plough got caught. When he went to loose the plough he saw the top of the box above the ground. He told a man of the neighbourhood about it and the two men went to dig it. When they had it dug they opened it and found a man in it and a pot of gold and a helmet. They said that this must be a man who fought battles. They put it back in its place again. This field is owned by Patrick Morrisreo, 80.
