  1. Long ago people were told that a crock of gold was buried in Leonards Fort in the townland of Farrihy. THis night they made up their mind to go and dig for the gold.
    After a short time they reached the flag and between the flag and the gold a bull appeared and he was tied with chains. When the men saw the bull they ran away and for a long time they could hear the noise of the chains.
