    and the Communion on the hill.
    There are two clumps of briars growing over the spot where the chalice is buried. The chalice is very valuable. The Communion is not buried at the same spot as the chalice.
    On another hill which is about 100 yards away there is supposed to be hidden a crock of gold. This gold is supposed to be hidden under a fairy bush. Lights have often been seen at this tree and it is said that it is guarded by fairies. This gold was hidden when the Danes were persecuting the people. This crock is very large and valuable.
