    There is a pot of gold hidden in Michael McTiernan's fort Clenaghoo, Ballinamore, Co Leitrim. This fort is on top of the hill and it is surrounded by whins.
    There are two nights in the year that you can see the leaprachan namely the first of April and the first of November.
    If you can catch one of those leaprachan, hold him for a half-hour. But if you turn your head the leaprachan will get away
    if you are able to hold one of those leaprachan for a half-hour she will show you where there is a pot of gold.
