    since there is a fairy tree to be seen in the spot where the crock of gold is. The gold consists of about 200 guineas and seven years after that he came again and did the same thing. The man appeared every time and hit him again but however one night he went home at twelve oclock and the fairy man appeared and left his hand on his face and he died. The print of the mans hand was on his face and he was buried in the spot where it happened and no body goes near it since.
