- (continued from previous page)English, went one night with two very cross dogs. When they began to dig, they met two very large flags. Then they met another flag and broke it, and then a big black dog jumped up out of the pit. The dogs they had got frightened and they ran under the mens feet. The men failed to get the treasure.
The danes when leaving Ireland are said to have put it there, and killed one of their soldiers to mind it. The place where it is hidden is between O'Callaghan's orchard and Humphrey's field Turagh, Cappamore, Co. Limerick
