  1. There is supposed to be money hidden under a stone in the road in the townland of Liscumiskey. A man was passing by the road one night and there was a fairy fixing shoes on the side of the road and he was also singing a song about all the money he had. The man asked him to give him some money and the fairy showed him a stone on the road and told him he would leave money under it.
    The next day the man told a few neighbours and they went with him to that place. They looked under the stone and there was nothing there but withered leaves. There is a wee field beside that place and the people call it the "money bawna".
