    There is a cave in Nephin Mountain in the side of it. And there are three Barrells of gold in that cave but there is a worm in the cave called péiste ciste just like an evil serpent. There is a flag outside the door of the cave and another flag to the inside of the door. There is a sword struck in the flag and this is what is written on the inside flag. "He who takes this sword and blows the horn that is on the sword will be the richest man that was ever born."
