    dreamt, nights that he got gold in the middle of the fort. He came and dug very deep and found a skeleton of a man, he dug deeper until he came to a very large flag. He could not lift the flag. He said if people helped him he would lift it. One evening some school children and I went into the fort and we stood on the stone and we could hear noise underneath our feet like churning.
    My father Edmond Rea Ardnageeha Charleville Co. Cork told me this.
