  1. 9. Berney Farrell who lives in Ballytrelly dreamed three nights that he would get his fortune on the Bridge of London. He went to the bridge and remained there for three days. A man asked him why he was there. Berney told him. The man said "You are foolish to think that for I dreamed three nights that I would get a pot of gold at a lone bush in Ballytrelly. Berney said nothing but came home as quickly as he could and dug up a crock of gold at the foot of the bush.
