- On a cold bleak day in the month of February a farmer was ploughing in a field called May's Brae, in the townland of Carrickagarvan. Nearby was a large rock which still stands there known as Carna Seóidh. With him was a servant boy called Morris from near Carrickmacross. In the middle of the field was a lone bush.

They looked back, and the whole score glittered. One of them picked up a piece and said "by japes it's goold."
