“About forty years ago and old man named Dan Hannigan lived up near Knockpatrick.”
(continued from previous page)key from the spot, and continuing his ploughing he ploughed up the brier. A few days after he told the news to some of his neighbours. They were very anxious to procure the treasure, and were willing to dig for it. When they were ready to start however, they could not locate the exact place, as the brier was gone, so they failed. The gold is still there, and has never been looked for yet.
