    Hidden Treasure.
    On one occasion a crock of butter was unearthed in Derryvane bog.
    In the townland of Drumcaw on a hill owned then by a man named Shaw, but at present by a man named Hackett a crock of gold was found.
    Shaw caught the fairy and compelled it to disclose the hiding place of the "crock of gold". Mrs Gibson (the informant) saw men digging for it when she (as a child) was going one morning to Billis N.S.
