  2. Here was a crock of gold supposed to be hidden in a field in Sledrin. The field is called Gaspal Wet. It would be less than a mile from Sleadrin School. In olden times the people that owned this field often dug it to try to find the treasure out without success. It was a spray woman that first told them about the gold.
