- In a field at the rear of the house of Mr Felix Gallagher, in the townland of Creevymore, Parish of Ahamlish, Barony of Carbury, Co Sligo there is supposed to be a crock of gold hidden under a bush.
The bush is on the side of a hill in the field. It was once a big bush but now there is scarcely any of it left.
It is said that a big black cat is watching the gold.
Nobody ever interfered with it because everyone was afraid.
People say that a life must be lost before it is found.
