  1. (continued from previous page)
    two thousand pounds. Other treasures may have been found, but not to my knowledge. This crock of gold was supposed to be guarded by fairies. Lights have often been seen about this rath. The old people say that anything belonging to fairies should not be touched.
    The man who looked for this treasure once, found a little box, which contained a piece of papar, telling him to work for his money.
