    (continued from previous page)
    The Danes are supposed to have buried it there.
    Some old people tell us that it is hidden in the brakes on the farms of Mr. Frank Ryan and Mr. Patrick O Sullivan. Others say that it lies in the underground passages leading from this cahair to outlying forts in the neighbourhood.
    Lights have been seen there from time to time. Recently a light resembling a star was seen at night in the carair by a workman of the district named Con Donovan.
