    an ash tree near the bridge of Derrew. The tree is small and has remained the same size as long as any one can remember. There is a hound minding the treasure and this hound has to attend in Quansboro chapel for the elevation of the Host and nobody would dare look for the crock of gold except at the elevation of the Host in Quansboro of a Sunday for during that time the hound is away from the treasure.
