    chief of the Fianna (Fionn Mac Cumhail) to mind it.
    When Fionn died many people came to look for the treasure but it was not discovered till at last two big men from Ulster dug it up. When they were bringing it home the crock fell into a boghole and try as they might they could not get it out.
    It is said some people came to look for it but were kept back by the power of Fionn, and from the time it dropped into the boghole to this day it was never discovered.
    I got this story from my father.
