  1. A Pot of Gold

    Share Share Post
    On the old road to Ballymote, convenient to Doo Chapel, stands an old bush, several people dreamt that there was a pot of gold under this bush, and a weasel minding it. They were afraid to go near the bush, but from that day to this the weasel is still to be seen around it.

    There is a field on our farm which is called "Paddy's Acre". It is so called, because it was a man the name of Paddy Leahy that had it as a farm about two hundred years ago. He was famed all over the province for the great deeds he performed.
