    On the farm of Brian Mc Tiernan of Blast Hill, Dromakair, there is a fort. This fort is round in shape and is fenced by a hedge of bushes and some stones. In the middle of the fort there is ahidden treasure of gold.
    At sunset a fairy girl was seen at this fort. Brian Fowley dreamed of this treasure two night insuccession.
    In the dream he was told to go to the fort at three oclock in the morning; and three mor epeople with him. He was told that one of them would be killed by the girld.
