  1. A Treasure

    Share Share Post
    In Mr. Hills fort at Gortalea a pot of gold is supposed to be hidden, and any person who goes looking for it is hunted by a white horse.
    Not many years ago two men whose names I do not know went looking for the gold as they were looking, they saw the horse and they ran away.
