    gold, that it was buried beside a furze on the north side of the hill.
    He got to-gether seven or eight and one night they started digging for hte gold. The man who made the wow to mind the gold appeared in chains and fire, and in spite of holy water and prayers put them to flight. They never attempted to dig for it again, and the gold still remains there.
