  1. The town land I live in is called Lachagh. I is in the country Roscommon and in the Barnery of Boyle. It is one of the most historical parts of the country.
    In the Dun field on our land there was a fam battle fought and there was huge stone placed where the people were killed.
    There is also a money house where a crock of gold is supposed to be hidden. A man came from Australia to dig for the gold, but he got tired digging and had to give up.
    One has to dream of it three nights before one can dig for it.
